Dear Residents of Rancho Palos Verdes,
As we begin 2021, I can’t help but reflect on the year we are leaving behind. A year marked by tremendous pain and loss, but also immense courage. I think of the many moments of struggle, but also those critical moments of triumph. I believe in the human spirit and how that spirit is amplified when we come together and we step across those illusory boundaries that often separate us. We are all interconnected as a community and any time we demonstrate compassion toward one another, it helps us all rediscover that shared connection.
It is through that compassion that we remain resilient and through that resiliency that we have found our hope. I have been personally moved by the depth of compassion I have seen from many of you this past year and how we have united as a community. Difficult days remain, but let us continue to look out for one another and hold fast to that tenacious sense of hope to the brighter days in 2021 that are ahead. I wish you and your families a happy and safe new year.
Eric D. Alegria
Mayor of Rancho Palos Verdes
