Can it be, another new year we will soonly see? Time ticks on without a pause, so we must take it all in with a smile and applause, for the alternative has way too many flaws. 2026 - what will it be? Can we keep it together, both with kindness and empathy? Can we care for one another, for it's really not so hard. After all, life's not about things, but it’s people and experiences that are the golden card. Together we can continue to make Monterey a special home base. Let's start the new year continuing the pace. Help make each day brighter for the human race. After all, it's about the journey not the chase. The City of Monterey sends wishes for a warm new year, We ask for lasting peace to be here, for understanding to be clear, and thank our community for standing near. Together we can face our fears, and steadfastly hold our hopes dear. Farewell to 2025, and a happy 2026!
