Complete support for Nelson
Editor:
One or two quotes from my comments in one of the lead stories in the Feb. 9 issue of the Clear Creek Courant may imply less than total support on my part for Belita Nelson. Such is not the case.
Ms. Nelson has clearly demonstrated an effective and sincere dedication to the Idaho Springs business and nonprofit community.
Who else among us would or could have started and conducted a successful new farmers market, participated in the Mill Creek Valley Historical Society’s Melodrama, directed and produced the well-received “Cemetery Tales” at the United Center, and directed the successful 2010 Gala for our local Historical Society, all within a few months’ time?
It would seem to me that we are fortunate that Belita Nelson has adopted this community and has offered the passion, skill, energy and vision to make this community an even better place in which to live and conduct business. I would submit that Ms. Nelson’s local track record speaks for itself in the most positive terms and that we need to use our resources (personal and otherwise) to move forward.
