 involved for their incredible work! He stated he was proud to present the award to the City at the MASC
 annual meeting as his time as President of the Municipal Association of South Carolina (MASC) came to a
 close. Mayor Habib elaborated on some of the projects and assistance the MASC was able to provide to some
 of the smaller municipalities throughout South Carolina during his time as President of the MASC. Mayor
 Habib reminded everyone that The Creek Collective has a new art gallery featuring local artists. Visit our City
 website to sign up for classes or for information on renting out the Collective for a special event. Thanks to
 our Recreation team for another great Kids Fest event on August 2. Let’s all be extra cautious driving to work
 with school back in session. Thanks also to Chief Roscoe and her team for another successful National Night
 Out celebration last week. Speaking of the GCPD, the Police Department’s popular Citizens Police Academy
 returns tomorrow, August 13, and will take place from 6pm to 8pm every Wednesday for eight weeks. Also
 starting on August 13, the Splash Pad at Central Creek Park will transition to fall hours. The Splash Pad will

 Carnes Crossroads at 7pm on Saturday, August 23, when A MineCraft Movie will be shown at sunset. There
 will be food trucks, activities and lots of fun. Monday, September 1, is Labor Day, and City offices will be

 Sister Hazel, Jupiter Coyote and Cravin Melon concert as Creekapalooza returns on Saturday, September 13,

 Fire Department is launching its first-ever Citizens Fire Academy. It is an 8-week course that begins on
 Wednesday, September 17. Check out all of the details on our City website, GooseCreekSC.gov. If you are a
 college football fan, mark your calendars for Saturday, September 27, which is Goose Creek Appreciation Day

 participants who wear their game jersey or cheerleading uniform will get in for free, and City residents will
 only be charged $5 for admission. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online – visit our website for all of
 the details. Hopefully this game between two state schools will be just as exciting as South Carolina’s 17-14
 victory over the Clemson Tigers in 2024 … and OK, to be fair, may it also be just as exciting as Clemson’s 31-
 30 loss to South Carolina in 2022. Mayor Habib stated in July the City held its senior and youth amateur
 events at the City’s Crowfield Golf Course and stated they were both successful events; and, Councilmember
 Tekac played very well. Mayor Habib stated the Goose Creek Helping Hands is holding a food drive with the
 City throughout the month of August. He stated Goose Creek Helping Hands is his favorite charitable
 organization and was started by former Councilmember Mark Phillips and several of his friends and it has
 been around for nearly 40 years now. Mayor Habib encouraged anyone who was able to donate to go to their
 website and see their Wish List for items needed.
