When I read my city council emails, people are usually expressing concerns about their city and don’t know where to start. There is a desire to get involved and see real change. Well neighbors, I am excited to share with you, there is a way to get involved, and the time is NOW!

P.S. If you are looking for more reasons to step up and serve, I can happily share that studies show people who volunteer tend to live longer and happier lives, as volunteering releases natural endorphins in our body. Thanks for stepping up and helping shape our great city! 

Lisa Smith, Arvada City Council
