Citizens’ Evening to Feature Volunteer Awards & SOTC Address

Mayor Steve Babick will present Carrollton's State of the City Address at the 15th annual Citizens' Evening on Wednesday, March 29.

The free event will take place at the Carrollton Senior Center (1720 Keller Springs Road) in the Texas Ballroom. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Attendees will have an opportunity to mingle with City officials and meet members of the Neighborhood Advisory Commission. Informational booths will be set up so attendees can learn about City services, as well as social service agencies which serve the community.

Babick's State of the City Address will focus on new developments, programs, and events within the community. Because the City of Carrollton is "Where Connections Happen," the organization works hard to connect its residents with information about all that is occurring within city limits.

"City Council's vision is for Carrollton to be the community that families and businesses want to call home," Babick said. "Citizens' Evening is a great event and I'm looking forward to sharing some of the exciting new developments happening in Carrollton as well as providing a progress report on the important work accomplished over the last year. It takes responsive leadership, hard working staff, and an engaged citizenry to advance toward realizing that vision."

The event agenda also includes the presentation of the Carrollton Cares Volunteer Awards, including the Volunteer of the Year, Youth Volunteer of the Year, Neighborhood Leadership, and Outstanding Community Organization Awards facilitated by the City's Neighborhood Partnership Office. These awards are designed to recognize individuals, organizations, and leaders who have gone above and beyond to deliver exceptional community service to the City of Carrollton and its residents in 2022.

"Carrollton is grateful for the many volunteers whose service enhances the lives of its residents and visitors," Community Services Manager Brian Passwaters said. "The Neighborhood Partnership Office and the Neighborhood Advisory Commission, who sponsors the event, are excited to recognize volunteers who have contributed their time, ideas, and efforts in making our community such a great place."
