To the residents of North Haven: I sincerely want to thank all of you for your support over the past 12 years, and for your amazing support in this past June election.
As an elected official for the past 12 years as a village trustee, and as deputy mayor for the last 10, it has been a huge honor.
I regret to inform you that I have not been reappointed as your deputy mayor this year, but I promise to continue to work for you all, to the best of my ability.
After receiving an incredible 302 votes, I am truly honored to serve you, the people who live, work and go to school here. Thank you.
Dianne Skilbred
