Mayor thanks donors to holiday drives, announces flower-pot sponsorship and noon New Year's reception at the library

Mayor (name not given in transcript) thanked residents and organizations who donated to local toy and food drives supporting the CAC, MVOC and Saint Vincent de Paul and reminded listeners that these programs operate year-round and continue to need support.

He announced the 2026 downtown flower-pot sponsorship program is open and noted an early-bird discount for registrations before March 1; interested sponsors should contact Iris in the Department of Community Development and Planning for details. He also highlighted seasonal family activities — including library events, the skating rink and Duns Pond Lounge — and said the Levi Haywood Memorial Library will host a New Year's Eve "countdown to noon" reception at 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 31.

The mayor closed by thanking viewers for watching the monthly updates and extended holiday wishes.
