I am running for a second term as Mayor
for the City of DeLeon. Time has gone so fast this past two years
serving as Mayor.
It's been a great pleasure serving with
our council members and I believe we have made some improvements for
the city and our citizens during this term. One of our accomplishments
is meeting the grant project obligation with the Parks and Wildlife
Department this year. Although we aren't completely finished with the
total project we have satisfied the grant and the Park is ours. Over
the past two years this project has been on the council agenda every
meeting and our council has met the demands and hardships head-on and
we now have something that our community can enjoy day after day very
soon. >>Full Story<< |

DANCING FOR A GOOD CAUSE. Steve and Marilyn Harbour took a
