really do want to take the time to thank her again. It did make me feel wonderful and they really had
kind things to say. | know that we’ve gotten a lot of bad press and so on but | think they are heading
towards the right direction and | think time will prove that out, so thank you.
And one more thing. I’d like to welcome Ms. Lovering as our City Clerk and our new Legislative Manger.
And Donna | am so sorry | don’t Know your last name.
Donna Graham, Legislative Manager
Graham.
Alderman Klee
Graham. Thank you so much.
Committee announcements:
Alderman Gathright
| am announcing that on October 11" the Reverend William Barber who is the Co-Chair for the Poor
People’s Campaign, a National Call for Moral Revival, he will be here in Nashua at First Baptist Church,
121 Manchester Street at 5:30 p.m. on October 11". And | would suggest that folks come out and
celebrate and have a good time, a lot of music and everything.
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you. First | would like to congratulate all those who were appointed to the Committees, it is an
exhaustive list. Thank you for serving. The second thing is the Mayor starting this Mental Health, I’d
like to thank the Mayor for doing that because we had one Police Officer that tragically took his life and
we had a month earlier a Fire Fighter took his life and a year before that another Firefighter took his life.
For such a small percentage group, it is acute, you know, and the fact that the Mayor was to recognize
that, | think that is good as well as the other residents of our City. So | think that’s fantastic.
| would like to thank Chief Rhodes for bringing the newest to Nashua Fire & Rescue. The fire truck
tonight, | personally enjoy fire trucks, | wanted a ride. | want you to all notice | have my steamer tie on
tonight to welcome the new apparatus. But! wish the vehicle luck, that it takes the firefighters to their
appointed watch and that they all come back safely.
One of the last things I’d like to mention, | don’t know who did it, but whoever put the VeoBike on that
stand in the middle of the river needs to be accommodated, that was quite a feat, | enjoyed it. And also
the ones who are on Facebook or anything else, doing the art work, | never thought | would see ET on
a VeoRide on the backdrop of Main Street, but it was very good.
And also to what Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja, the Brian McCarthy Foundation, Karen McNally is the
entertainment and if you need another excuse to go there’s gifts | should say, you can bid on them and
everything else, so it’s going to be a grand time. So | hope to see you all there. Thank you.
President Wilshire
| too would like to welcome Donna Graham our new Legislative Affairs Manager, she’s going to be
doing a great job for us; she already is. So welcome and thank you for being here.
