Are We Lucky Or
What?
CITIZEN VIEW
I am a supporter for the newly formed, KEEP LAKE OSWEGO GREAT. And you
know? One of the great things about Lake Oswego is that we have many more
things than one that we can be so proud of. It is no secret that Lake
Oswego is a wonderful community, tucked away in the beautiful and green
State of Oregon. Physical beauty includes the hills, the river, the lake,
the homes, the neighborhoods and the town. All you have to do is mention
where you are from and everyone already knows. It is the reputation of our
top rated schools, our award winning library, our stores and our
businesses, our Lakewood Center, our Adult Community Center, our parks and
our art. But it is not just those things that I want to remind you of. The
really great thing about Lake Oswego is the people. We have citizens that
care and are willing to work hard to make this a better place for all of
us; just think of all the clubs, service organizations, associations, and
civic groups that we have. There are the city leaders too, including the
mayor, the councilors and all of the workers that do their jobs to make
our lives better. And we live here. Are we lucky or what?
So if you want to know what I think makes Lake Oswego great and can make
it greater? It’s you. This is a great place to live. It is a great place
to play. It is a great place to raise and educate your kids. It is a great
place to work and even retire. But what you should think about is what YOU
can do to make this even a better place. Take part yourself and support
those who work so hard for you. Find out what’s going on. Attend,
participate, volunteer and join. Support the community, its leaders its
businesses and we will grow.
I certainly plan to keep working to help Keep Lake Oswego Great. You
should too. Check the website at
