Message from Delegate Branch

I know we all share a love for our children. We are excited about the future of Baltimore City. We care deeply about the community in which we live. Over the past year, I've heard from many of you about the values we share, the challenges we face, and the decisions we all need to make to create the city we want for the future.

Now it's time to ask ourselves a few questions. What do we want our city to be 30 years from now? What kind of legacy do we want to leave for our children and grandchildren? What responsibility do each of us have in creating a stronger community?

I encourage you, your friends, neighbors, and coworkers to get involved with the community. Meet with me in my office. Discuss your concerns. Spread the good word. Encourage people you know to consider volunteering in the upcoming mayoral elections. Over the next year or more, there will be many opportunities for citizens, businesses, organizations and neighborhoods to get involved and have fun.

This is just the start! Please stay tuned to my website (www.talmdagebranch.com), community organizations and news sources in the coming months for opportunities to get involved in shaping the future of Baltimore. If you'd like to talk with me directly, please call the 45th District Office at 410-563-4709. I know there are already many community efforts underway to bring neighbors together and to tackle tough problems, so let us know of ways we can link events and opportunities.

I know I can count on you to share your ideas, spread the word and lend a hand. Let's roll up our sleeves and build the future!
