# # # Welcome to the Neighborhood, Rural Pack! 🌿

It’s always exciting to see a new small business open its doors in Moravia, and we’re pleased to welcome **Rural Pack** to our community!

Rural Pack is bringing together local makers, bakers, farmers, growers, and small businesses in one place—giving our neighbors another opportunity to **shop local and support local**.

Their **soft opening is Saturday, August 22, from 9:00 AM–6:00 PM** at **10 Central Street in the Village of Moravia**.

Stop in, say hello, and take a look around. You’ll find local produce, baked goods, pantry items, sauces, jams, crafts, and more from area vendors.

Starting a new business takes vision, hard work, and a belief in the community you serve. We wish Rural Pack and all of its participating vendors every success as they begin this new chapter.

**Welcome to Moravia, Rural Pack — we’re glad you’re here!** ❤️

Today is Election Day.

One of the great privileges of living in a democracy is having the opportunity to make our voices heard. Whether your views are shared by many or held by only a few, your vote is your chance to participate in shaping the future of your community.

Every election is an opportunity to be heard, to stay engaged, and to help strengthen the civic life of our community. When residents participate, our community is stronger.

If you are eligible to vote and have not yet done so, please take a few moments today to cast your ballot. Your voice matters, and every vote is part of the conversation that helps guide our future.

**"Knowing that all service offered with a sincere heart has value."**

As I reflect on my time serving as your Village Trustee, I am reminded that public service is ultimately about giving back to the community we love.

Not every decision is easy. Not every challenge has a simple solution. But when service is offered with honesty, dedication, and a genuine desire to help others, it has value.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the residents of Moravia, to work alongside fellow board members, village employees, volunteers, and community organizations, and to be part of the progress our village continues to make.

As Election Day approaches, I place my trust in God, knowing that whatever the outcome, His plan is greater than my own. I am thankful for the support, encouragement, and friendships I have experienced along the way.

Thank you for allowing me to serve this community. It has been, and continues to be, a privilege.

Looking Forward to Continued Service

Public service is not about titles or recognition — it is about commitment to community.

I am running for reelection as Village Trustee because I believe Moravia has a bri.ght future and because I want to continue contributing to the progress we have already begun together.

Over the years, our community has faced challenges, celebrated successes, and continued adapting to changing needs and opportunities. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: the strength and resilience of the people who call Moravia home.

Serving this community has been both an honor and a responsibility that I take seriously.

Why I’m Running Again

To Continue Moving Forward

There are important projects, discussions, and opportunities still ahead for our village. I want to continue helping guide those efforts with thoughtful planning and community-focused decision making.

To Support Responsible Leadership

Local government works best when decisions are made carefully, respectfully, and with the long-term interests of the community in mind.

To Remain Accessible & Involved

I believe residents deserve leadership that listens, communicates openly, and remains connected to the concerns and ideas of the community.

To Help Protect What Makes Moravia Special

As our village grows and changes, it is important that we continue preserving the character, traditions, and sense of community that make Moravia unique.

A Positive Vision for the Future

I believe the best days for Moravia are still ahead8. By working together, encouraging community involvement, supporting responsible improvements, and maintaining pride in our village, we can continue building a stronger future for generations to come.

I would be honored to continue serving the residents of Moravia as your Village Trustee.

Thank you for your support, your trust, and your belief in our community.

Candidate for Village Trustee

Exciting progress is underway for the Village of Moravia as work continues on the upgrade of our wastewater treatment plant.

This project represents an important investment in the future of our community and infrastructure. The upgraded facility will incorporate newer treatment technologies designed to improve efficiency, reliability, environmental protection, and long-term sustainability.

Modern systems and equipment will help the plant better manage wastewater treatment demands while supporting state environmental standards and reducing the risk of future operational issues. These improvements are designed not only to serve today’s needs, but also to help prepare the village for the future.

Infrastructure projects like this are not always highly visible day to day, but they play a critical role in protecting public health, supporting economic development, and maintaining the quality of life our residents expect.

Thank you to everyone involved in helping move this important project forward. We look forward to sharing additional updates as construction and improvements continue.

To me Moravia is special.
What makes Moravia special isn’t just one thing — it’s the combination of community, history, and small-town character that people still value today.

It’s the kind of place where:
neighbors recognize each other,
local businesses matter,
traditions are passed down through generation and people genuinely care about the future of the community.

Moravia has a strong sense of identity rooted in: its historic downtown, beautiful surrounding countryside, nearby lakes and outdoor recreation,
local events and traditions,
and the people who volunteer, serve, and help keep the community moving forward.

From the fairgrounds and community events to local parks, churches, schools, and small businesses, there’s a connection here that many larger communities have lost.

Moravia also has something increasingly rare — potential without losing its character. Residents want progress, but they also want to preserve the welcoming, close-knit feeling that makes the village feel like home.

The future of Moravia isn’t just about buildings or projects. It’s about continuing to build a community where families want to stay, businesses want to invest, and people feel proud to call home.

What do you think makes Moravia special?

What a great day for our community! Another successful Money Mania is in the books for the Moravia Fire Department.
Thank you to all the volunteers who worked hard behind the scenes to make today possible, and thank you to everyone who came out to support the department. Community events like this are what make small towns special.
Pictured are the officers who worked the event today.
