New Port Richey Centennial Celebration Committee Members Sought; Letters Due Tuesday

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL — The city of New Port Richey will celebrate its centennial anniversary on Oct. 27, 2024.

To mark this occasion, the city is currently looking to organize a steering committee to plan and oversee the event. Those interested in participating must be a city resident 18 years or older or own a business within the city limits for at least six months.

Preferred candidates should have a working knowledge of the city and a demonstrated ability to work effectively as a member of a decision-making team.

A letter of interest must be submitted to the city clerk by Tuesday. The letter must include a summary of the skills and qualifications the person believes would be an asset to the steering committee. The letters may be submitted via electronic mail to meyersj@cityofnewportrichey.org or mailed to the City Clerk’s Office, 5919 Main St., New Port Richey 34652.

Those selected to be on the steering committee will be notified in late June. Meetings of the steering committee will begin in early September. A formal meeting schedule will be finalized once the committee has been established.

In addition, the city is also looking for an artist to create a unique logo for its upcoming centennial celebration. The logo will be used on all advertising and promotional materials for the event. The logo requirements are as follows:

• Must contain the words “City of New Port Richey”
• Must have 100th anniversary or numbers 100 incorporated in the logo
• Must be in a PNG or JPG format

Artists may submit their logos via electronically to City Clerk Judy Meyers at meyersj@cityofnewportrichey.org by Sept. 1, 2023.
