"If I Were Mayor..." Contest Open to 7th Graders
The 2010 “If I Were Mayor…” essay contest is open to all 7th grade students across the state. Many youth are not aware of the valuable services that their municipalities (cities and towns) provide: bike paths, recreation centers, police officers, street lights and crosswalks are all provided by municipal government. If you were mayor, how would you explain the importance of municipal government to kids in your community? Four winners will be awarded a certificate of achievement, a $500 savings bond and the opportunity to attend the 88th CML Annual Conference June 22–25, in Breckenridge. Call Lisa White at 303-831-6411 or send an email to lwhite@cml.org.
