Thank you all for the warm welcome, it is great to return "home"! Ab
ilene is the envy of many communities with unique attractions, destination businesses and first class people.
My challenge to you this holiday season is to please think Abilene first - first for your shopping, dining and family outings. Take the opportunity to explore all Abilene has to offer and share it with your friends and family.
I look forward to being a member of your team and community.
