Christmas spirit is alive in Cheney

I don’t often write notes to the editor, but feel compelled to do so this week. 

The residents of Cheney should be congratulated for going above and beyond with their Christmas decorations and lights this year.  There are so many homes and businesses that have done an amazing job of making our city a little more joyful to end a difficult year. 

I wish I could call out what I’ve seen, but would suggest a drive around the city neighborhoods is worthwhile for you and your family.  You might be just as amazed as I was and find joy in what you see.

Lastly, city staff, our first responders — police, fire and medical teams — and the City Council should be commended for their hard work and diligence in 2020.  All have done an amazing job under very difficult circumstances.  Please stay safe everyone and let’s make 2021 a great year.  

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all,

Jill Weiszmann
