I want to send a big thank you to the Mariner football program, and Coach Scott Cardoza in particular, for all the work he did in organizing and presenting the activities celebrating the new turf field last weekend. I am especially grateful for the effort Scott made to include as many user groups as possible in this celebration. His inclusive approach reflected the shared effort it took to get the funding passed to build the field, and it starts the history of the field on a positive note of collaboration. What a great message for the community and our youth.
