And the March goes on

The first week of May was as busy as ever, but what else is new? The day started out with setting up the table at College County Community College for early voting. I was joined there by several of our volunteers. I could only stay there a short time, so if I missed you coming to vote, I apologize. From the voting location, I walked across campus at 9:30 to attend a Collin County Association of Realtors presentation where they recognized me and shared their endorsement of me to be the next Mayor of Frisco.

With their blessing, I took some extra muffins and walked back to our campaign location and shared them with our volunteers and those of the other candidates. Continuing the hectic pace, I again promptly left there to attend the Garden Club of Frisco luncheon, which was sold out. Mayor Mike Simpson gave his last presentation (for the Garden Club!) as Mayor.

The rest of the day was spent at the polling locations. From there, we had two meet and greets scheduled in Stonebriar and our team left the polling location early to make it. With the number of meet and greets at over 30, there were several days where we had multiple events planned. This was one of them!

This was on Thursday! The next day was not much easier as we repeated the polling day presense. That evening was a treat at the first ever dinner at Babe's restaurant. Mayor Mike Simpson was honored for all his hard work. Most of the Council and staff were in attendance.

The entire campaign team attended the Curtsinger Elementary golf tournament at Plantation Resort on Sunday. We had so many red shirts and cars with signs out there, I think the public thought it was a campaign rally! We appreciate all the thumbs up and horn honking. It was great to meet so many of our fellow Curtsinger parents. We were also very successful in raising over $700 for the Curtsinger PTA with our "spin the wheel". Thanks Andrea!

I had to take a short break from the tournament and head over to Fire Station 6 grand opening. What an amazing station staffed with the best firemen. The station is located at 3535 Eldorado Parkway and is our newest station. Thanks to our citizens, we have opened new fire stations on a regular basis!

We had our last "coffee with the Maher" on Monday, the 5th. If the citizens chose to elect me as the next Mayor, I plan on continuing these meetings! We have filled the room on just about every Monday, so thank you for making these meetings a huge success!

Frisco Family Services held their annual Mayor's Golf Tournament on Monday. Our campaign team sponsored a hole and I spent the day riding in a golf cart (notice I didn't say playing golf. Playing golf means you can actually hit the ball!). It was a great evening. Our first lady, Sandy Simpson, was honored with a "tea party" early in the evening and then Mayor Simpson was honored with a special recognition later that evening. The tournament raised close to $100,000 for Frisco Family Services!

The next morning was the Mayor's Breakfast where Frisco Citizens, Staff and Council honored the families that made up "Frisco's 100,000th citizen". You will be reading more about that in the near future. Frisco is now officially in the 100,000 club!

Until next time,

best regards,
