supporters. My family and I have really enjoyed the last few months and words cannot convey to you how thankful we are for your support.With over 400 volunteers, I can't say thank you enough times or list the countless times someone has come to our aide to make this campaign the huge
success it is. Everyone helped; from the supporters in red to the many financial contributors to the campaign, which was necessary to get our message out.Every volunteer, every effort, every minute was just as important in our effort to make Frisco the best place to live.
Our volunteers could have easily spent their time taking care of their family, getting that extra time in to organize their home or spending their volunteer time at their church or the many other organizations we have in Frisco. Yet, they still found time to make a difference to my campaign and that means the world to my family.Together, we spent a lot of time in our community. We attended over 30 meet and greets in the homes of our citizens and answered their questions. We helped sponsor several charity golf tournaments. We attended community events and spoke to anyone that had a question for us. Our supporters attended every debate, every event. They were there right by my side to support me, to hold me up and to give me the strength to work hard for our community.
Our volunteers brought tents, chairs and materials to the early polling locations every single day. We used a lot of sun-screen, that's for sure! Sometimes we had one or two and sometimes we had 10, but they were there every day, every hour.
My volunteers became experts in city operations and issues. We had many long days and late evenings. It was fun and it was tiring, but we spent time with quality people who care about their community. Next time you see one, ask them what NTMWD stands for, or why water conservation is important. Ask them about our tax revenues or expenses and why it is so important to tighten our belt during these challenging times. I bet you they can answer your questions.
When we asked for help with our signs, I expected five or ten volunteers to come for some good pizza! We ended up with over 60 volunteers! Needless to say, we had to order some extra pizza :-)We had young children and seniors, we had new residents and some that were born in Frisco! It was truly a team at work. What used to take most of the day only took a couple of hours with time for social talk and visiting with friends. Some of our volunteers knew each other and some became friends on the spot!
We had "runners" to stack the signs and "troubleshooters" to help solve problems. Have I told you about the great team we have? What an amazing group of individuals.
The picture to the right tells it all - the team included kids and teens. Just look at the focus and determination on their face! This is what makes all the hard work so worthwhile and satisfying.
I look forward to seeing you this Saturday at the polling location. We will have volunteers at each location, so please stop in and say hi to them. All the candidates worked very hard and have taken time away from their families to serve our community. Please say thank you to them as you go in to vote or on the way out. They deserve to know that you appreciate their effort.
Most of all, thank you for taking the time to get educated on the issues and going to vote. In the end, we should all be thankful that we live in such a great city with so many volunteers.
Please join us on Saturday evening starting at 7PM at our poll watching party at Pizza Hut Park in the verizon club. Please let us know you are coming so that we can plan accordingly.
Join over 500 of your fellow citizens in celebrating this election. RSVP by clicking HERE. Make sure you vote first and head our way - the polls are open from 7AM to 7PM. I hope I can meet you in person!
Sincerely,
Maher Maso
