August 15, 1983 ATTENTION: Mayor Neely The Colleyville Community League would like to congratulate Neal Gholsen on his recent political victory. Neal we support you in your effort to *** fulfill your campaign promises in making *** Colleyville a better place to live. The Colleyville Community League is proud to note that their efforts to unify a divided Colleyville and end the political hatred, seems to be starting to work: This council race had a much quieter and friendlier tone and except for a few instances (which seemed defintely one-sided) the league noticed a softening of the usual political potshots. It is our hope that future elections will border more on honesty and true representation of the facts and less on what the voter wants to hear. The Colleyville Community League wishes to take this opport- unity to say: **** THANK YOU LEONARD HEAR:! **** For your interest in Colleyville and its citizens, we salute you! Because of people like you and your desire to make Colleyville a better place to live, we look towards a brighter future for our city. Let's hope your influence encourages others to get involved! The Colleyville Community League will meet on Thursday, August 25, at 7:30 PM at the First City Bank of Colleyville. LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE DONE: THINK OF WHAT WE CAN DO!!! BECOME PART OF WHAT WE ARE::! Support our elected officials but keep the power with the people: Sincerely ~fl--~ ~ c:::::: Charles W. Berry President, Colleyville Community League CWB:ces
