16 <br /> <br />Information Corner. Special thanks to the many community volunteers who logged in over <br />15,000 hours last year to provide their support. This is a perfect example of neighbors helping <br />neighbors to benefit the entire community. <br /> <br />******** <br />Conclusion <br />In closing I would like to thank our City Council for their leadership this past year. I know there <br />are some complicated issues coming up next year and I am counting on us to make some difficult <br />decisions together -- the future of our city’s growth is one that comes to mind. Thank you to the <br />Chamber of Commerce for co-sponsoring this evening’s event and for arranging the business <br />visits which have allowed me to get to know my community even more. For tonight’s <br />presentation, thank you also to Eric Engelbart, Caroline Hernandez, Jacqui Diaz, Derick Lee and <br />Nate Clinton for a truly collaborative effort. <br />Again, I thank past City Councils, as well as current and past board members and commissioners <br />who contributed their time to address challenges, embrace new ideas, and who helped make this <br />past year so successful. Thank you to our business partners, our school districts, and community <br />partners who work tirelessly for San Leandro’s future. <br />And thank you to my family and my husband Scott without whose support I would not be able to <br />do this job that I love so much. <br />But most importantly, thank you to our residents, who are partners in all we do for the City. It is <br />you that make San Leandro a vibrant and compassionate community where innovation thrives <br />and where connecting with each other is important. This truly is a city where kindness matters. <br />Every one of you help to strengthen the fabric of this beautiful community with your commitment <br />to working together.
