MAYOR DEMINGS' DIGEST

Happy Holidays! We're blessed to live in such a great part of the country and I am honored to be your Mayor. It was one year ago this week I took the Oath of Office, and I couldn’t be prouder to represent you and create a community that works for everyone.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to watch my one-year message to all Orange County residents. Please also remember the Toy Drive will continue until Dec. 10. You can drop off a new, unwrapped toy to benefit Orange County children in need. For drop-off locations, visit www.ocfl.net/ToyDrive .

Have a safe and happy time with your loved ones as we head into the New Year.
