Adrian O. Mapp
Dear Friends,
It’s a pleasure for me to welcome you to my 2019 Gala event.
I recognize that you could be anywhere today, but you chose to be here, and that means a
great deal.
Over the past five years, we have accomplished great things. We have ushered in a new era
of hopefulness and change in the City of Plainfield. There is an economic resurgence across
all wards; we are implementing SMART technology as we make infrastructure changes, and
we are improving our recreational spaces. This growth and success could not take place
without the support and partnership of people like you, so I say a heartfelt thanks.
It has been very gratifying to see the fruition of plans that were once just a dream and a
vision. It is even more poignant when I hear personal stories of people whose lives have
changed because of a program or action that was implemented by my administration. We
are continually seeking ways to improve the quality of life of all residents in our community,
and I am humbled that I am allowed to lead the charge, and usher in this profound, and
lasting change in the city that we love.
For those of you who believed in the vision at the very outset, and have stood with me, I say
thank you from the bottom of my heart; I could not have done it without you. Those of you
who became part of the team later, I say, it is never too late to work for the good of our city,
and you are a valued part of the unification that we are building.
I am excited to see what changes the next five to ten years will bring, and I hope I can
continue to count each one of you as a friend and partner for years to come.
With Sincere Gratitude
Adrian O. Mapp
