2007 STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS

“OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW”

Introductions:  Louise and City Council members and staff.

This is the fourth year I have had the privilege to address an audience and bring you up to date on where the City of Marion is and where I think it is going.

This year the subject is “Out With the Old and In With the New”.  If you remember the first time I spoke at this gathering, it was a disaster!  In fact, I was pleased to find anyone attended the second one.  It was better, but not by much.  Last year it seamed that I had hit my stride.  While I spoke, I had a slide show going on.  After the presenta-tion, I had a nice lady say is the best I program I had given.  I asked what she liked the best about the program - she said the pictures!  I really like honest people.
