Thank you!

It was an exciting election, and a busy week followed.  I'm overdue to sit down and say some thank yous!

First and always, thank you to my family, near and far, for love and laughter as the campaign unfolded.  Thank you to the generous friends who proudly supported my newspaper ads with their donations and (most importantly) their printed names.  Thank you to all the folks at the doors who received me so kindly and politely, often in the middle of their dinners.  Thanks to the friends and neighbours who said encouraging things when they phoned or ran into me during the campaign, and to everyone who celebrated with us here at home on election night. 

And, of course, a huge thank you to the voters who entrusted me with their support -- I promise you that I will work hard to support the values and ideas we discussed during the election.

I will be sworn in on Monday, and I look forward to my first council meeting on Monday afternoon.
