As we welcome Betsy Allen Davis, Middleburg's newly elected mayor and our new town council members, Lisa Hubbard Patterson and Karen Robinson and re-elected council members Darlene Kirk and Mark Snyder, we say goodbye to outgoing member Margaret New and extend our gratitude to ongoing members Bundles Murdock and Helen Hyre.

We are also reminded of the tremendous dedication and stewardship our outgoing mayor, Tim Dimos, provided during his tenure.

First as a member of the Town Council, and then as mayor, Tim steadfastly steered our Village toward the future with both sensitivity and the courage of his conviction. A true friend and fair-minded representative of all our citizens and friends in the environs.

Tim's voice was vibrant and powerful as he carefully guided Middleburg toward a carefully planned future that would protect our success and our sensibilities.

We tip our hat to you, Tim. And we wish you on your way with our best wishes and sincere thanks for your citizenship.
