A Word from
CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ASHLEY GRAVES As we March into 2022, my hope is for a renewed spirit and forward focus for Nassau Bay. The year ahead will be a time of renewing infrastructure, renewing our parks, renewing our transparency, and renewing our connection to our neighbors and community. Each of us has a love story about Nassau Bay. Whether discovered on a random drive while house hunting, spending time here visiting family, or growing up over the decades, we all remember the moment we knew Nassau Bay was the home for us. It’s that intangible hold that calls on us to serve this community, keeping Nassau Bay incomparable.
Looking to the future of Nassau Bay, I hope each of you finds the right place to serve. Maybe it’s as a member of the Garden Club, an essential community organization that predates the city itself, or as a member of CANBE, committed to the enhancement of Nassau Bay. The Special Events Committee offers another opportunity to serve, with family-friendly events that create special memories for our kids all year long. Perhaps you have unique skills that can be utilized on the Planning Commission, or even as a Volunteer Firefighter. Please don’t forget that gratitude is a service, too. Showing gratitude for our Volunteer Fire Department and EMS personnel, our Nassau Bay Police Department, or other volunteers is just as important to the spirit of community.
I am looking forward to another incredible year of community service, fellowship and improvement in our city. Thank you to everyone who plays a part in making our future together even brighter.
