Thank you!!!! To the Volunteers……… There are many things that make a community great! One of which is volunteerism. Having been your city manager for a little more than one and a half years, I am still amazed at the community pride that Gunter has which in part, manifests itself through the volunteerism in all aspects of the community. As your city manager, I can assure you that I do not take your volunteerism for granted. I am certain the school superintendent feels the same. While there are hundreds of volunteers throughout Gunter serving at every level; sometimes high profile and others who remain more in the background, I will focus this short article on city volunteers – hopefully, I will not leave anyone out. The city of Gunter has numerous volunteers which includes the mayor and city council, the planning and zoning commission, the parks board and the economic development corporation, and the volunteer fire department. There are more than 70 volunteers that support the city operations in one capacity or another. Each member gives of himself/herself to serve the city of Gunter, without pay. There are numerous meetings, documents to read and often very difficult decisions to make. Our volunteers all have families, spouses, children, jobs, etc. They give of themselves to make Gunter a better place today than yesterday and a better place tomorrow than it is today. As a board member, they are often required to make difficult decisions – decisions that impact the quality of life of each one of you. They do not take this responsibility lightly. They recognize that some decisions that they are asked to make are sometimes very unpopular, yet they remain vigilant in remembering their responsibility and that is to make the best decision possible to the benefit of the community at large and to do the right thing. To all the volunteers……I salute you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service to our community. If you are not a volunteer, please consider being one or at the very least, be sure to thank someone who is. Rick Chaffin, ICMA-CM, MUA Gunter City Manager
