A Christmas Message from Mayor Armstrong

It is a great pleasure for me as Mayor of Columbus to extend to you, the people of Columbus, my most sincere Season’s Greetings.

In particular, I would like to extend a special welcome to those who have “come home” to Columbus to be with their families this holiday season.

I would also like to send special holiday greetings to those who are ill at home or hospitalized. I wish you a very speedy recovery.

I would ask you all to remember your neighbors at this time of year, especially the elderly and those living alone. And please remember our military, our public safety personnel and their families during this holiday season.

To all who are spending the holidays away from Columbus this year, but who may be reading this message on the Internet, I extend Season’s Greetings from Columbus.

Finally on behalf of my wife Kathi and the entire Armstrong family, we wish you a very joyous holiday.
