A Message from Jeff Turney, Committee Chair
"We need everyone's support on this Flagpole Project. Please let our Parks and Recreation commission know your thoughts on replacing the present temporary flag and staff with a permanent flag and solar lit pole on top of the mountain at Thunderbird park.
It takes all of us working TOGETHER to keep America strong. This project is extremely important to those who came before us and to those that will follow us!!! It shows our citizens, our State, our country and the world that Glendale values what our flag represents and its patriotic value!!! This flag will be a symbol of pride for our city to admire for years to come. I am honored to be able to spearhead the project for all of us."

A MESSAGE FROM A MEMBER OF THE MILITARY & VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE:
|
"The Glendale Chamber of Commerce Military Veterans Affairs Committee is a great venue for cross-communicating military events and issues relevant to our veteran community. I especially appreciate the Chamber's enthusiastic support, the dedicated volunteerism by its diverse memebership, and Mayor Weier's direct, hands-on involvement.
From my view, the committee's highlights of the year have been the planning and coordination efforts that ensured the success of September's Glendale Stand Up for Veterans event, as well as the Veterans Day ceremonies at the Glendale Veterans Memorial. Both events were planned and executed brilliantly by members of the committee." |
