Dear Residents,
We received a slew of emails and new MB readers after publishing a letter from a resident in our last email. The writer seemed to hit the sentiments many residents are feeling. Check it out [HERE].
That is a perfect segway to this Newsletter. Below we have published the list of candidates who have thrown their hats in the ring for School Board Member and City Council Member…so far. The deadline to get in the race is August 12 (see information at the bottom of this email).

Since our start a year and a half ago, we have remained true to our mission to serve our fellow residents by publishing a newsletter that brings information on issues critical to our MB community and let the voice of the residents be heard by publishing their letters and comments.
We started with 100 readers and now have grown to over 5,400 MB residents reading MBStrong’s newsletter. This is largely due to residents finding MBStrong a noncombative outlet to voice their opinion and make a difference in our community.
We keep all personal information about our writers and subscribers confidential.
