One of the Council duties which I enjoy the most is the privilege of welcoming new citizens and businesses to Presque Isle. It is impossible for me to meet all of our citizens but I hope you accept this note as a personal greeting to you.
As you know Presque Isle has a proud tradition, going back to l859. It is a tradition we are quite proud of, and intend to maintain; for it is a tradition that has played a major role in our growth and expansion over the years — a growth and expansion we intend to have continued. What is this tradition? Answer, “It’s people and their willingness to go above and beyond to make Presque Isle a great place to live, work, play and raise a family.”
One hundred and fifty years have brought vast changes in our ways of life but what has not changed is the spirit of mutual helpfulness and good will you feel in Presque Isle.
Let’s keep the momentum we have and have the best “150th” Birthday Party that any city has experienced.
It is a distinct pleasure for me to serve as one of your Councilors and if I can be of assistance to anyone at any time in the future, be sure to call upon me.
Happy birthday Presque Isle.
Ed Nickerson is chairman of the Presque Isle City Council. He can be contacted by e-mail at ENickerson@loring.org.
