MAYOR’S CORNER MERIDEN
As Meriden's Mayor, I continue to be impressed with the vitality and generosity of our community. I have had the privilege of making appearances at over 200 events, celebrations, award ceremonies, anniversaries, grand openings, parades, and other community events. It is amazing to see the energy, enthusiasm, and commitment of so many of our residents for worthy causes. Recently, the Meriden Senior Center hosted a Senior Expo that offered an array of
booths and resources to assist seniors. They even included a self defense class using a cane. Since I had just recuperated from hip surgery, I was pretty adept at using the cane myself. The Meriden Kiwanis Club presented a bike safety rodeo downtown and handed out free bike helmets to all the kids and provided instruction in bike safety. After the bike safety program, the Kiwanians held another successful "Cow Plop Fundraiser" to raise funds for children's charities. The Meriden Lions Club held their annual "Duck Race" featuring several thousand little plastic ducks making their way down Harbor Brook in City Park to the encouragement of hundreds of onlookers along the stream bank rooting for their duck entry. The Soap Box Derby at Hubbard Park was a fun event and demonstrated a strong partnership with "Beat the Street" and Kevin Curry's Soap Box Race Committee. The kids had a blast racing down the hill in their sleek soap box cars.
Looking ahead, Westfield Meriden is partnering with the city of Meriden to put on a July 4th extravaganza at the Square featuring a fun filled day of family entertainment and closing with a spectacular fireworks display. With the official summer season approaching, take time to enjoy the outdoors - hike the Quinnipiac Linear Trail, visit Hubbard Park and Castle Craig, take the kids to the playscapes in our parks throughout Meriden, and attend the many musical offerings at the Hubbard Park Band Shell. And remember - July 4th Family fun day and fire works at Westfield Meriden for a treat that you and your family won't want to miss.
Enjoy!
Mayor Mike Rohde
