City of Taunton Inauguration

After attending the inauguration for elected officials in the City of Taunton on January 4th, I was filled with a renewed sense of pride and respect for my city. I've always known my hometown is a great community filled with caring people, and this ceremony only deepened that understanding.

The first word that comes to mind in describing the ceremony is "all-American," from the opening prayer, to the National Anthem performed by a student, to the middle school chorus singing I'm Proud To Be An American.

The ceremony ended with an address from Mayor Charles Crowley, who assured us the elected officials will be working together to keep Taunton on the path to economic recovery, safe neighborhoods, and high-quality education, to name a few.

And that's what it's really all about: working together for something bigger than yourself, for the common good of the community.

Best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year,
Shaunna
