to a place where this publication can return. The past 18 months or so have been a long, hard and winding road to return the community to some sense of new normalcy. We could not have gotten to where we are without the dedication of my colleagues--the public servants who work on the behalf of the Pearland community--and the trust that the community places in those individuals. I am happy to say programming is starting to return to normal, our City Recreation Center & Natatorium on Bailey Road is buzzing with activity again and gatherings are beginning to look like they were pre-pandemic. The same can be reported for our Knapp Older Adult Center in the Old Towne area along with our other parks and recreation spaces. I encourage you to check out some of the programming coming up in this Pearland In Motion and get back out into the community as you feel comfortable. You will find some familiar programs as well as some new opportunities and an updated approach to some programs leveraging learning and adaptation gained over the course of the pandemic. There is no doubt that during the past 18 months Pearland has faced challenges never experienced before in this community. But through hard work and determination, we have made it through in good shape, and the future looks brighter than ever. So, I hope to see you out and about, enjoying the great and expanding trails, parks, events and programs. It’s these experiences that make this community so special, and I am thankful to be a small part of it.
