A Letter from Sharon Adams

Dear Registered Voter:
My name is Sharon Adams. I was born and raised in Cedar City and most of my holidays and weekends as a youngster were spent on Cedar Mountain. I married Jim, also with Cedar roots. We have five children, 15 grand children and one beautiful grand baby. Jim and I lived in Las Vegas for 31 years, spending as much time as possible on the mountain. For the past 16 years we have spent almost every weekend on the mountain, and have seen this community grow rapidly. This has been very difficult for some of you who are used to quieter times. In 2002 our dream came to fruition, and we were able to build our cabin. In 2005 we moved here full time. It’s GREAT TO BE HOME! I was elected to the Meadow View Heights Owners Association Board in 2004 serving for five years, one of which I was President.

We have enjoyed being part of the CMFPD volunteer auxiliary group for the last four years supporting the volunteers, EMTS, Chief Johnson, and Assistant Rybolt. We worked at the fundraisers getting to meet many of you and your families. I appreciate the volunteers we have. It requires a great desire to be of service and many hours of continual training. They make great sacrifices on our behalf many times missing special occasions with families. I have been privileged to stay at home and raise our sweet, special-needs daughter, and know that if she ever needs medical attention, my CMFPD volunteers will be there for us. I have attended many CMFPD Friday work meetings, and Saturday Board meetings for the past few years. I feel this gives me a better understanding of how the Board works, the issues they have faced, and the many challenges they have had to sort through.

I am a person with common sense, I persevere and take my commitments seriously. I plan on applying these skills when and if I’m elected to the CMFPD Board of Trustees. The Board will work much more smoothly if we can concentrate on the matter at hand and eliminate the negativity that has been present at many meetings. I think it is important to retain some of the current Board members to ensure a smooth transition, and I would like to be part of the new voice that comes to the Board.

I’m proud of the many accomplishments by our current staff and volunteers. I want to serve on the Board and be a part of this respected organization. I hope you will elect me to participate in the continued success of the CMFPD.

Sincerely,

Sharon Adams
