We're excited to celebrate the years of service for two employees from our Recreation Division.

Alex Bien, our Recreation Operations Manager, has been with the City for 5 years and has served in several different leadership roles since his hire in 2021. His hard work and dedication are a tremendous asset to the department.

Mary Tyler, one of our Lead Preschool Teachers at Singleton, has reached 10 years of service. She has impacted the lives of hundreds of children during her time as a preschool teacher and we are grateful for her continued dedication.

Please join us in celebrating Alex and Mary!
