As the holiday season approaches, the City of Glens Falls is embracing the spirit of giving and community connection. During a recent Common Council meeting held on December 23, 2024, city officials highlighted an upcoming event that promises to bring residents together for a noble cause.

Tomorrow, the city will host the Veterans Walk, a four-mile journey set to begin at 9 AM. This event, organized by local heroes, aims to raise donations for deployed troops, providing them with essential rations and snacks during the holiday season. The initiative reflects the community's commitment to supporting those who serve, ensuring that even those far from home feel the warmth of the holidays.

As the meeting progressed, the atmosphere shifted slightly with the announcement of a necessary executive session. The council needed to address a personnel issue related to the Glens Falls Fire Department, specifically concerning the medical condition of an employee and its implications for collective bargaining agreements. The session was expected to be brief, with no additional motions planned for the evening.

In closing, the council members extended warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, reflecting on a year of achievements and looking forward to the new year. The meeting wrapped up with a sense of community spirit and anticipation for the future, leaving attendees with a hopeful outlook as they head into the holiday season.
