Memorial Day Weekend
________________________________________________________________________
memorial day
Happy Friday, Kent!
Memorial Day is an important day to honor the service men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I'm eternally grateful to those who have made that sacrifice for the safety of our communities here at home.
As a reminder, our offices will be closed this Monday. This includes Kent City Hall, the Centennial Center, the Kent Commons and Senior Activity Center.
Hope you enjoy this week's update and have a great weekend!
Dana Ralph, Kent Mayor

PICC
I attended the Pediatric Interim Care Center luncheon on Thursday afternoon with Rep. Tina Orwall, Councilmember Troutner, and Events and Community Manager Cynthia Boyd. PICC does such amazing work for babies.
Because of PICC, babies who are born drug-addicted have a chance to grow up strong and healthy. I am grateful they are a part of the Kent community and honored to be here supporting their work.
Thank you, Kent Station, for sponsoring our table.
________________________________________________________________________
Maggie's on Meeker holds a very special place in my heart. On Thursday we celebrated that the legacy that is Maggie's will continue on with Raman, the new owner, Jessica and Michelle and all the amazing staff.
Thank you Sue and Steve, for the building a space for community, a place where all the world's problems were solved (AKA The Table of Gnawledge) and the heartbeat of downtown.
Raman, thank you for your commitment to downtown and making sure Maggie's remains a very special place.
