A Fond Farewell To Jackie Sales

The weather was sunny and brisk as officials from the Montrose Shopping Park Association (MSPA) met in a parklet to show their love and appreciation for JACKIE SALES (2nd from left) as she prepares for retirement.

In her position as Economic Development Coordinator for the City of Glendale, Jackie has been the liaison between the city and MSPA since 2001. During that twenty year span she worked closely with MSPA Business Administrator and Events Coordinator DALE DAWSON (left) and MSPA Board President ANDRE ORDUBEGIAN (3rd from left). Throughout her tenure Jackie has been gracious, diligent, efficient, and dependable with exemplary manners. A true help and support to Montrose.

A special card was designed by COPY NETWORK which MSPA Vice President GIGI GARCIA personally took around to board members so they could share their thanks in writing. She also brought a box of fresh, individually bagged donuts to share or go.

An original watercolor of the Montrose Shopping Park was presented. It was commissioned just for the occasion from local artist DEIKE BRANDT who is normally found at the Sunday Montrose Harvest Market and annual Arts & Crafts festival.

A meaningful way for Jackie to keep Montrose in her heart.

Here is a closeup of the original art reflecting the famous Montrose clock, "I Love Montrose" street banners, colorful parklets, and tree-lined streets.

You will be missed!"
