Conlon Jones Receives Award in Fountain Hills Community Celebration

The September 2, 2025, Town Council Regular Meeting in Fountain Hills, Arizona, commenced with a heartfelt acknowledgment of community service. Conlon Jones, a long-time resident, expressed gratitude for receiving an award alongside his late husband, Mike Jones. He emphasized their commitment to the community and the importance of collective efforts in making a positive impact.

Following this personal tribute, Councilwoman Hannah Toth presented a proclamation declaring September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. She highlighted the significance of raising awareness about ovarian cancer, which is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. The town will light the Great Fountain in teal to symbolize support for this cause, encouraging residents to participate in awareness activities and discussions.

The meeting then transitioned to presentations, starting with a review of public works accomplishments for the fiscal year 2025 by Director Justin Welding. Although he was momentarily unprepared, the council acknowledged the essential contributions of the public works crew, often regarded as unsung heroes in the community.

Overall, the meeting underscored the town's commitment to community service and health awareness, setting a tone of unity and support among residents. Further discussions and presentations are expected in future meetings as the council continues to address community needs and initiatives.
