During a Council Meeting held on Tuesday, June 29th, 2021, Gila Bend Mayor, Chris Riggs, along with the support of the Town Council, stood up and proclaimed the entire month of July as 'American Pride Month' in Gila Bend as he read the proclamation into the official record.
As was mentioned in the Mayor's Message that was put in the July newsletter, Mayor Riggs believes that "July is the best month for all of us to take pride in our great country." Mayor Riggs would like everyone to take time this month and remember the many great accomplishments the United States of America has achieved and will continue to achieve! He and his fellow Council Members hope to see other cities and towns follow their lead and proclaim July as 'American Pride' Month.
