Mayor Don Ness

This Friday is Veteran's Day.  A day to show our appreciation and compassion for those that have sacrificed love, family....life, for our continued freedom.  If you're like me, saying "thank you" just doesn't seem like enough.  Attend one of the events scheduled to honor our Veterans  on Friday, November 11th to show your gratitude.  Here's some suggestions:

How many times have you said to yourself  "if I only had a few minutes with Mayor Don Ness, I'd tell him to (insert your fantastic idea to better our lives and community here)".  Well, Duluth citizens are welcome to do just that at another Mayor's Night coming up Tuesday, April 26.  It's Free and the Mayor stays until he's visited with every person that signs up.  Here's the details.
