Chandler’s All-America City Community Celebration has been rescheduled to Wednesday, September 1, 2010, at the Chandler Center for the Arts. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. with entertainment and refreshments in the lobby, followed by a presentation in the main auditorium at 7 p.m. The presentation will include a slide show and video highlighting the Chandler delegation’s trip in June to Kansas City, Mo., for the competition. The event will also honor the people, organizations, and corporate sponsors who supported the City’s award application.

Cities were asked to document three community projects addressing their communities’ most pressing challenges. The City of Chandler submitted documentation of the City’s collaborative efforts and partnerships with ICAN’s underage drinking taskforce, the CARE Center and its work providing medical care to Chandler students, and the Chandler Heights Community Facilities, which include a police substation, Environmental Education Center and water recharge facility.
 
“These three projects highlight the collaborative nature of the City of Chandler in our efforts to serve the residents of our community,” said Mayor Boyd Dunn. “These are great examples of the kind of creativity and innovation that keep Chandler a safe and healthy city with attractive amenities.”
