There is a story about a master carpenter who worked for many years and was well known throughout his community for his craft. As time grew, he became old and tired and readied himself for retirement. His boss was very disappointed after hearing the master carpenter's plans for retirement. But deep down he understood.

He asked the man to postpone his retirement to build just one more home and encouraged him to do his finest work yet. The old man reluctantly agreed and set out to build the house, but his heart was not in it. He hurried through the process and cut corners all along the way. When he finally finished, he rushed to his boss and reported the news. The boss immediately handed the man a set of keys and said, "The house you have just build is my gift to you."

We are putting together to build a healthier City of Northglenn. We cannot afford to be slipshod or cut corners in the process. We must work in partnership with one another to build the best community we can.

I look forward to working with you.
Dr. Sean Reif D.C.
