Greetings from Council Member Mike Knox
At Large Council Member Pos 1
Have a safe 4th of July and come join us at Eleanor Tinsley Park on Buffalo Bayou for Citgo's Freedom Over Texas. Musical performer, Cupid, will open the Main Stage followed by special guest The Mavericks. Chart topping country star, Chris Young, will headline the event. By far the hottest ticket in town. Come celebrate America's birthday.
Few need reminding that we are in hurricane season and most of us know how vulnerable this city can be to storms. It's a good idea to have a plan in place so you can act quickly to save lives and property. Take pictures and have important papers ready in case of an emergency. Also keep leaves and grass out of your gutters and storm sewers.
Salvation Army Zac Foundation Safe Swim. No shortage of kids who want to splash around in the water. Glad the kids are learning how to be around water safely.

Honored to join Mayor Turner in presenting a proclamation recognizing the 70th Anniversary of the Women Armed Services Integration Act.
One big takeaway from Hurricane Harvey is we need more boats to rescue folks. The 100 Club stepped up to purchase a total of 14 boats for police, fire and county.

Celebrated Juneteenth with the unofficial Mayor of Sunnyside Ms. Sandra Massie Hines. Great crowds turned out for live entertainment and always good food.
