January 2017 Dear Friends, It is an honor to be a part of The Cleveland Orchestra’s 37th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert. Cuyahoga County is home to our world-famous Cleveland Orchestra. Arts and culture are key to our quality of life in the region. Cuyahoga County is a place bursting at the seams with arts, music, sports, great food, festivals, waterfront recreation, unique neighborhoods, distinctive places — all converging in one vibrant, dynamic, diverse community. As County Executive, I am committed to making sure that Cuyahoga County is a place where we take care of each other — we protect each other when we are at our most vulnerable, we provide each other a hand up when we most need it, and we promote equal access to justice for all of us. We must continue to make progress towards Dr. King’s dream of a nation where we are judged not by the color of our skin but by the content of our character. There is still much work to be done and we must work together. When we stand together, we don’t let anyone fall by the wayside, especially those in need. When we see that we are one community there is nothing we cannot achieve. Every single person, business, organization, and young mind represents an opportunity to add to our strength. I look forward to working to fulfill the dreams and aspirations embodied by the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to create a county where everyone can achieve their own dreams. My best always,
Armond Budish Cuyahoga County Executive
