Dear Supervisors, I wanted to take a moment and thank you each for allowing me to actively participate in the Belmont FWSD 1 meeting held last month. Active participation in one's local government has been a common theme for most of my adult life and I will continue participating in Belmont FWSD 1 meetings as time allows.

I leave you with the following quote: "In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility." - Eleanor Roosevelt. In Harvest's case, each of you are shapping our communities lives. Not an easy task especially during a time of hyper growth and market uncertainty.

I wish you all the best on your endeavors and as always if I can be of service to the Board, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Regards,

David
