Insider Edition 98 | September 4, 2025 | | | | |
Hello Windsor!
As we welcome the month of September, I want to recognize the incredible work that our Town staff continues to achieve daily. Their dedication, professionalism, and resilience are what keep our Town running effortlessly.
September is a time of transition and reflection, to honor the contributions and accomplishments Town staff have made throughout the year while focusing on the goals still ahead.
Whether working in the field, in the office, or behind the scenes, I can think of no better example of public service than what I see from the Town's team every day.
My deepest appreciation.
