Award for Excellence recipient Barbara Fall along with family members, Parks and Recreation director Rod Tarullo, and current and former members of the Parks & Recreation Board.
Last week Rotary Club of Golden and other sponsors hosted the “State of the Community” and Mayor’s Awards for Excellence event at Fossil Trace. The first photo includes all of the folks receiving Awards for Excellence this year along with the two selection committee members who presented the award and myself.
I was really pleased with the event, so hats off to Rotary Club and all of the other community sponsors for making it happen. A bunch of folks have asked for a written version of my remarks. You can download the 2011 Mayor’s State of the Community presentation here.
