2010 Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association Inc.
How many times in life have we started a new year without realizing the goals we had set before us or even taken the time to evaluate why those goals weren't made?
This is a time to forget the past and move forward into the present and the future. Many people all over the world are in the process of making New Year's resolutions, of which many of them will never come to pass. For us as responsible citizens this is an opportunity to look back over the past year to see if we were able to make all of the desired changes we set out to do.
Last year, thanks to the support of our members, your Civic Association enjoyed the most successful year in its history. Despite the continuing recession we were able to maintain and expand membership while successfully implement and achieving our primary goal – making citizens aware of the civic issues that affect their lives and providing them with the facts necessary to influence public policy in a positive direction. Whether it be issues relating to plan amendments, fire safety, transportation issues, inspection ordinances, the sale of Taxpayer owned assets, environmental regulations, flooding, or crime prevention Our Civic Association has been on the front lines, defending the democratic process that our forefathers fought for and our constitution guarantees to all citizens.
Whenever special interests raise their ugly heads they challenge not only the quality of our lives but also the sanctity of our democratic constitutional process. We will continue to protect these values that are the cornerstone of America. We will do so by building on our past accomplishments and moving into the future with our principles and goals intact.
Special congratulations are in order to all of our members and sponsors for their charitable donations of time and money to support Toys for Tots, Adopt a Family, USO Operation Call Home, and High School Scholarships.
