Happy New Year Banks!
As we welcome the New Year, I want to take a moment to reflect on what makes our Banks community so special. In a small rural town like ours, the turning of the calendar isn't just about a new date; it's about the people, the relationships, and the shared commitment we have to one another. This past year, we've seen neighbors helping neighbors, local businesses continuing to serve as the heart of our town, and volunteers stepping up whenever they were needed. These are just some of the quiet strengths that define our Banks community and make it a wonderful place to call home.
The New Year brings fresh opportunities. As we start to see our upcoming growth, we think of ways to improve and continue working together toward a future that still honors our Bank's traditions while embracing thoughtful progress. Whether it's supporting our local events, caring for our community, or simply checking in on a neighbor, every small act makes a big difference here. Let us continue those traditions.
On behalf of the City of Banks staff and volunteers, thank you for your continued pride, patience, and participation. I look forward to another year of working together to keep our Banks community strong, connected, and welcoming.
Wishing you and your family a healthy, hopeful, and happy New Year.
Mayor Marsha Kirk
