Good news on a gray day...

Congratulations!

You have been accepted to the Mayor's Young Somerville advisory committee made up of 20-35 year old Somerville residents. We had a strong response to our advertisement, which yielded four
times more applicants than we could accept.  As a result we faced an extremely difficult selection process, and we are delighted with the passion and enthusiasm portrayed in your application. You should be proud that you have been selected to represent your fellow Somerville residents.

We hope the advisory committee will help increase the number of young residents that are engaged in our civic community, improve the quality of city services offered to people in this age group,
and create a network of young people that spans the city.

As a member of the committee, you will be expected to attend monthly meetings and help us select and implement projects that arise throughout the year. You will also be invited to numerous city and community events, though these are not required.

I hope that you will accept our invitation, as I believe the committee, and the city as a whole, will benefit greatly from your participation.

Like many of the programs and initiatives implemented by Mayor Curtatone, this group represents the first such entity in the City's history and we are excited to get it underway as soon as
possible.

Thanks for your interest and congratulations once again.  Mayor Joe is enthusiastic to hear your feedback on key policy issues and he welcomes your participation in this group.

Somerville Rocks!
