Wayne's Daily Updates: April 14 2022 Update

Happy Thursday. It's the end of the week for some of us, and with Easter weekend, it can be a good time to have some time outside and family events and activities.

Today, we took a look at some new features and tools that will likely be part of a website refresh for Provo.org. We also talked scooters and the new airport terminal, and considered ways to enhance our connections with city employees. Lots of good things in the pipeline.

I was invited to be a presenter at the Provo Community Church's annual Easter Sunrise Service. While I really appreciate the opportunity to join with others in celebrating Easter, arriving at 6:00 a.m. is a little daunting. No partying the night before. 😏

Let us know your Easter weekend plans with a quick comment at the bottom of the post, or adding an entry to the "Your Voice" section in the right hand column. .
