A Message from the City Manager | |
|
Honor. Loyalty. Integrity. Courage. Service. These are the values embodied by those who serve our country. The City of Temecula recognizes that the same values that build a strong nation also build a strong community.
The City of Temecula’s Military Banner Program honors active-duty military personnel currently residing within Temecula’s City limits (or having immediate family in the City). These patriotic banners serve as a prominent reminder of our service members.
Military Banners include the official military photo of the service member as well as their name and specific branch of the United States Armed Forces. Military Banners are installed periodically throughout the year along Main Street in Old Town and in front of City Hall and may be displayed for various lengths of time ranging from a few months up to a year or more, depending on installation and demand. Afterwards, the Military Banners are officially presented to the honoree, applicant, and/or family at the City of Temecula’s Annual Patriotic Salute to Veterans held in November.
Out of gratitude for their dedication to our country, the City of Temecula takes every opportunity to publicly honor and recognize members of our military. We encourage you to honor an active-military duty person in your family – The Temecula Way. There is no charge for these banners which can be ordered anytime, as installation occurs throughout the year.
For more information on how to reserve your Military Banner, please visit TemeculaCA.gov/BannerProgram.
-Aaron Adams, City Manager

A message from Rancho Water: Protecting the Trees During Drought Conditions
1. Water mature trees 1-2 times per month at the edge of the tree canopy – NOT at the base
2. Water young trees 2-4 times per week
3. Shower with a bucket and use that water for your trees
4. Do not over-prune trees as it can cause them stress
5. Use 4-6 inches of mulch to help retain moisture, reduce water needs, and protect your trees
Visit RanchoWater.com/Checkyourwater for more water saving tips.
