Pearland Connect – December, 2013
Greetings!
Pearland Connect is the communications vehicle that the City of Pearland is using to keep you informed. We do our best to provide you with the information you want and need and we want to hear from you. We welcome your input by email.
Calendar & Annual Report coming to your mailbox
Look for the new 2014 Calendar & Annual Report in your mailbox. The Calendar & Annual Report is being mailed to homes and businesses in the Pearland City limits, and residents should expect to receive them over the next two weeks. The calendar features 2013 awards, information relating to the City’s financial standing and City-related meetings and special events.
The full-color 12-month calendar features monthly photos that were chosen from submissions from the 2014 Calendar & Annual Report Photo Contest. Nearly a hundred photos were submitted by amateur and professional photographers. Contest winners include: Joseph Callahan, Joshua Hundley, Tatiana Lapotko, Nerice Partridge, Courtney Bajusz Morris, Rick Skeen, Jonathan Thomas, Eddie Roberts, Veronica Moeller and Jena Gilliland.
