Dear Neighbors,
It was an honor join my colleagues yesterday for the Pride Flag raising at City Hall. In our great city, we choose to embrace our diversity, and must continue to foster an inclusive community where each individual is treated with dignity and respect. Many thanks to the local community organizations and city departments that have organized opportunities for us to commemorate, celebrate and learn together during Pride Month.
I also would like to take a moment and congratulate all of our 2023 graduates across Pasadena, who are leveling-up to the next chapter of their lives! We will continue to cheer you on in your future endeavors. Keep soaring!
Warm regards,
