Mayor Gow Fields invites local residents to attend a new grassroots communication program called Mornings with the Mayor. These informal sessions take place over breakfast with the next event on September 14th at the Apostle Henry Ross Family Life Center located at 1302 Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue. The event will start at 7 a.m.

Mayor Fields said, “Accessibility is one of the keys to local government and Mornings with the Mayor provides the opportunity for our citizens to share their views, ask questions and provide feedback on issues that are directly affecting them.” He added, “Our first event was very successful with about 40 residents attending. This valuable time with residents allows face to face dialogue regarding their concerns on matters that are facing our community.”

Those attending will have to pay for their own breakfast but the Apostle Henry Ross Family Life Center will feature two plated meal choices with a beverage for $7.50. The premise behind the Mornings with the Mayor program is to make elected officials more accessible to residents in the community and to promote one-on-one communications.

This program allows residents an informal and comfortable forum in which to meet with the Mayor to talk about issues, ask questions, voice concerns and offer comments or suggestions. Mayor Fields said, “It’s also an excellent way for us to gather candid feedback about how people feel things are going in our City; what amenities they particularly enjoy, areas they feel could use improvement, or what they’d like to see in the future.”
