Hey Fam-

Today (September 17th) we are blessed to celebrate the birth of Ward 8’s own Sandra Seegars. There are not enough words in the dictionary that can capture this women's strength of spirit, character, commitment, honesty and her biting wit! Ms. Seegars was one of the first people I met when I moved to Ward 8 eleven years ago. She is the same person today she was then, kind, friendly, no-nonsense and direct. She encouraged me when others tried to get me to give up. This is a woman to admire folks. Ms. Seegars works HARD for this community all day and night, she has poured her blood, sweat and tears (and maybe a few laughs) into this community and she has asked for nothing in return! She can't be bought, swayed, hoodwinked or outfoxed. She's S.S. and S.S. always knows what time it is! This lady is FEARLESS! I have seen Sandra reduce grown men and women to sputtering idiots, she knows every law, program, regulation, bylaw that there is. Sandra lives in facts and you better have yours together before you step to her! Lol!

This community advocacy stuff often requires a lot of personal sacrifice so to have someone as amazing as Ms. Seegars in Ward 8 is a blessing many times over. So today, can you join me and all of her Ward 8 friends and family in wishing Ms. Sandra Seegars a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

She is our gift 365 days a year but she's extra special today! We love you Sandra!

P.S. Sandra, please don't kill me for putting you on blast but I had to do it! Lol!
