Greetings -
December is one of the busiest months for most Americans. It is also one of the busiest times at Temecula City Hall as we prepare for numerous Temecula Chilled holiday events! News is getting around that Temecula is among the most enchanting places to be in California and I'd say, arguably, the nation. If you aren't able to participate in any of the scheduled holiday events, we hope that you can find a moment to stroll through the festively decorated streets of Old Town, where brilliantly lit snow flakes adorn the lamp posts, and an oversized decorated Christmas tree beautifies the scenery in Town Square Park where the City's annual outdoor skating rink will soon be placed (December 15). As you enter through the arches of Old Town, you will hear the chimes from City Hall's Clock Tower that echo throughout downtown with familiar holiday music. We are blessed to live and work in this vibrant City.
We also recognize that holidays can be difficult for some families and individuals who are less fortunate in any number of ways. Whether it is sickness, finances, loss of a loved one, the feeling of loneliness, or otherwise, our local charitable nonprofit organizations have diverse programs for residents of Temecula. A few weeks ago, the City awarded over $1.1 million dollars to 49 different nonprofit programs in community-centric grants in order to exclusively support those who live in Temecula. We call it Community Service Funding-Reinvestment in Temecula. If any of these programs are useful to you, please reach out to the respective nonprofit organization. Alternatively, for those who may want to help, volunteer opportunities may be available through these nonprofit organizations, or those listed here. For questions, feel free to contact [email protected].
May you have a safe holiday season filled with peace and joy.
-Aaron Adams, City Manager
