CRAZY BUSY WEEK!

This week has been an absolutely crazy, busy, FUN week for the campaign.
Here's the snapshot:

Wednesday: Met with some amazing people from the Gilbert Senior Center and Community Services of Arizona where I learned so much about the services provided in the community through these organizations. I learned about their successes and their challenges and it definitely inspired me to reach out to those in need. Later that evening, I met with some great people from the Seville neighborhood in South Gilbert. Nate & Lalani Hunsaker hosted a Meet & Greet and invited many of their neighbors. It was a great success and I am grateful to Nate & Lalani for reaching out to their friends and neighbors and for allowing me the chance to share my vision for Gilbert with them.

Thursday: Bright and early on Thursday morning, I meet with the Gilbert Rotary - another fantastic organization in Gilbert that provides its members many opportunities to serve in the community. The Rotary motto is "Service Above Self" and it was evident by the energy and volunteer spirit that here in Gilbert, they take that to heart. It was such a pleasure being with some of Gilbert's best. Thursday evening, I attended the beginning of the Leadership Forum Workshop "Finding Your Place in the Community" and I had a chance to see some of the great things that individuals all over Gilbert have been contributing. Lots of organizations were in attendance including United Food Bank, Big Brothers, Big Sisters and the Gilbert Senior Center. Again, so inspiring to be amongst people who everyday, devote their time, energy and talents into making Gilbert a better place. To top off the day, Jaime & Dana Rogers hosted a Meet & Greet and I loved getting to know their neighbors and friends. The people in attendance had so many thoughtful questions and I enjoyed talking to them and getting to know them.

Friday: Interview with SEVRAR (Southeast Valley Regional Association of Realtors) went well as they asked many questions specifically relating to Real Estate transactions. So great to hear from people who ALL take a vested interest in Gilbert. I also had the great privilege of going on a Ride-Along with the Gilbert Police Department. My husband was supremely jealous and I learned so much about the many hats that the Gilbert Police wear as they work so hard to protect our town. Saturday evening I was lucky enough to have a Meet & Greet hosted by State Rep. Andy Biggs and his wife Cindy. Great crowd, fantastic dialogue and such tasty treats!

Saturday: Spent a while handing out postcards and fixing street signs with my husband and kids. The weather couldn't have been better. Saturday evening, I was so lucky to attend a Meet & Greet hosted by Greg & Sharon Slater. Talk about fun!!! I met some terrific people who love Gilbert and want to see Gilbert remain a family-friendly, economically sustainable home for all. I was reminded why I felt that running for town council was so important.

Sunday: So glad that Sunday is the day of REST and of FAMILY. :)

Next week is looking to be off-the-charts busy again and I'm looking forward to it!
