I invite all citizens of Centreville to attend tonight’s (4/14) Centreville Town Council Reorganization meeting at 8:00pm at the Liberty Building (107 N. Liberty) in Centreville.
Tonight we will be performing the time honored tradition that the Founding Fathers of our Country sought when they were framing the Constitution: the regular and peaceful transfer of power.
In addition to the seating of our newest Council Member, George “Smokey” Sigler, an individual who has proudly served his country as a veteran and whom I am looking forward to working with, we will see one of our great town citizens, Norman Pinder, Jr. retire from the council.
Norman has served his community his entire life. He is a veteran and former volunteer firefighter. He has been a coach for our youth leagues, past President of the Board of the Methodist Church and he was very active in the Centreville Jaycees (helping to build the amenities at Conquest Beach that we all enjoy today).
In addition to having served on numerous town/county committees, Norman has served the town as a part time Zoning Inspector, on the Planning Commission, and for the past 9 years, as a Town Councilman, serving as President of the Council 3 times.
Although he may be retiring from the Council, don’t expect him to fade from the public view. Someone with his abilities and dedication will always contribute to the good of Centreville.
If you can’t attend the meeting tonight, the next time you see Norman, be sure to shake his hand and thank him for his service. I know that Centreville is a better place for having him here.
Tim McCluskey
Vice President
Town Council of Centreville
