HELLO, PEARLAND!
What a unique time to live in Pearland. Even as I write this letter, life as we know it is changing rapidly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But, because of our great community, the

people who live here, the elected officials that represent you, and the staff that keeps services running in Pearland and keeps you informed, we have learned to adapt quickly to keep everyone safe and keep the community together. I started this letter talking about the current pandemic because it is our current situation, but also because it will impact a lot of what is in the Pearland In Motion you are now reading. Pearland In Motion was starting to be put together long before COVID-19 changed our lives. That being said, all of our employees, especially those involved in programming, are finding alternative methods for civic engagement never before seen in our community. There are a variety of online events and programs to stay engaged and get involved in the Pearland community, and I encourage you to check them out and try something new. As we are figuring out this new normal, we will continue to provide opportunities to connect together and will always look for ways to enhance the services that our beloved residents want and continue to enjoy. Thank you for being a part of this time in life with us; it wouldn’t be possible without the sense of community that Pearland has worked so hard to achieve. To the extent that it is safe and allowable, go experience Pearland in person and online, and join us as we grow together.
