Remembering Those Who Served

Dear District K Friends,

As we pause this Memorial Day, let’s take a moment to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, commitment, and love for this nation will never be forgotten.

Because of their sacrifice, we have the freedom to gather in community, work toward a better future, and serve one another with purpose. Their legacy lives on in how we care for our neighborhoods—and each other.

As we reflect on that spirit of service, I’d also like to share a few important updates happening right here in District K.
