NOVEMBER 2021

MAYOR’S MESSAGE As we approach the holiday season, I can’t help but think back to all we have endured the past nineteen months. It started with a virus, followed by an earthquake, local rioting, a contentious election and a massive windstorm; a time most of us may wish to forget. But as we are once again reminded, it’s often times the struggles and hardship that help to define our true character and shared values. We learn the importance of perseverance, appreciating the little things in life, of re-prioritizing what is most important to our family and our community. I understand more clearly today that no matter how bleak our current condition may appear, better days are on the horizon, that we can always find reasons to remain hopeful. The Sunday prior to Thanksgiving our Interfaith Council will host its 22nd annual Interfaith Service (refer to accompanying flyer for details). We are honored to announce that Reverent France A. Davis, recently retired Pastor of The Calvary Baptist Church will present the keynote address. Hay Soe, a member of Youthlinc and representing the local Korean Community will deliver the youth message. They will address the importance of gratitude, even in the midst of hardship. I can think of no better way to prepare for the holidays than sharing their message of hope and gratitude. You will have the option of attending in person or via live stream. We hope you can find time to help us usher in the holiday season.

Holla Dollars The City of Holladay has launched Holla Dollars, a citywide program supporting local shops, restaurants, and all the stores in between. In early October 2021, using COVID-19 pandemic recovery funds, the City of Holladay launched a citywide program, Holla Dollars. This program aims to encourage Holladay residents to support local shops, restaurants, and all the stores in between. The City mailed a postcard, with a unique promo code, to every household worth up to $40 which can be redeemed at participating Holladay businesses (through the use of four $10 vouchers). One member of each household decides how and when to cash in their vouchers. Don’t wait, Holladay residents only have until December 17, 2021 to sign up for the passport. Holladay City hopes you visit your favorite shop and use this opportunity to explore new shops before the passport expires on December 31, 2021. Visit explore.cityofholladay.com to learn more.

Wishing you all a SAFE, HAPPY AND HEALTHY THANKSGIVING!!! —Rob Dahle, Mayor
