River Gallery owner and TR
at next City Club meeting Hunter
Realtor Jan Jagoe
On Friday, Feb. 2, the City
Club of Florence will host
Mayor Joe Henry, who will
give a State of the City
Address, discuss the accom-
plishments of the City of
Florence over the last year and
explain what is next for 2018.
During his three years in
office, Mayor Henry says he
has been working to build the
foundation for a change in
leadership and culture at the
City, allowing Florence to
form a ‘can-do’ attitude that
has permeated through the
organization.
His talk will discuss how
these changes came about, and
what is next in keeping the
City moving forward.
City Club’s program, which
is open to the public, will be
held in the Bromley Room at
the Siuslaw Public Library in
Florence from noon to 1 p.m.,
followed by a short period for
questions.
