"I've been a Hampstead resident for several years and first met Bonnie Feigenbaum at Royal Vale school where she was one of the only parents to introduce herself and welcome me to the school. This outreach perhaps best encapsulates one of her fundamental principles - the engagement and inclusion of the members of her community. As a regular attendee of the Town’s monthly council meeting I have seen first-hand that Bonnie has successfully proposed, planned and executed a range of initiatives for this Town. Her determination to develop this community into a cohesive, open, and fiscally responsible entity will no doubt produce positive effects as our Town's population undergoes a major shift toward a more youthful demographic. Our growing families require community-based programming and tools to allow us to engage our children in activities within the Town, and I firmly believe that Bonnie's experience, coupled with the fact that she has a growing family, makes her the best candidate to elevate the Town of Hampstead to the best urban family-friendly town."
