Today, the City of Helena joins communities across our nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, we honor the courage of the first responders, military members, and everyday citizens who answered the call in a time of tragedy. Their sacrifice, resilience, and unity continue to inspire us.

As we reflect on this solemn anniversary, may we never forget those we lost and may we continue to uphold the spirit of service and patriotism that emerged from that day.

Never Forget.

Just a reminder to swing by this Saturday for coffee with Mayor Rosener from 9-11 in City Hall Chambers!

You are invited to "Coffee with the Mayor," which is happening on Saturday, September 12.

One of the things I value most about serving as Mayor is simply having the opportunity to listen. That’s exactly what Coffee with the Mayor is about.

Join me Saturday, September 12, from 9:00–11:00 AM in the Council Chambers at Helena City Hall.

There’s no formal agenda and no speeches, just coffee and conversation. Come ask a question, share an idea, talk about something happening in your neighborhood, or simply stop in and say hello.

I’m incredibly thankful for the people who make Helena such a special place to call home, and I believe our community is stronger when we take the time to talk with one another.

Come for a few minutes or stay awhile. The coffee will be ready, and I’d love to see you!
