Here comes the spring! We are ready for warmer weather and sunshine!
It's been a busy few months in the city and we're so excited about the changes that we're seeing around our community.
The Mennonite teams that are here working on recovery have been busy and have made great progress. We appreciate everything they are doing for our community, and we have been so blessed to have them here. They are currently working on home rebuilds for tornado survivors. The survivors receiving the homes were selected through a rigorous vetting process led by the Long-Term Recovery group and we are excited to see these families move into their brand-new homes.
Thank you for being so welcoming to the Mennonite teams that have been here. In speaking with the team leaders, they have been quick to tell me about their experience here in Wynne, and to say I'm proud to be a part of this community is an understatement. From providing meals and lodging to stopping to say, "thank you", our community has shown out. These small acts of kindness are the true embodiment of the word "community", and I can't express how grateful I am to you for loving on these people and showing them how grateful you are.
Disaster recovery is a journey measured in months and years, instead of days and weeks. As much as we would like it to move quickly, it simply does not. But, as a community, we have made amazing progress, and we continue to move forward. I can never thank our local community partners, and those organizations that have come in from all over the United States to help us, enough.
As we move into spring, I am reminded that it's a time of growth and new beginnings. I am excited for the future of Wynne and look forward to seeing what we can accomplish.
With warmer weather in the forecast, I encourage you to spend some time outdoors, enjoy our parks and the sunshine.
As always, my door is open and I hope that you will come to me, or to my department heads, if you have a concern or an idea to make our community better.
Many Thanks,
Mayor Jennifer Hobbs
