According to Signal AZ, McNeilly has done this kind of work in Baltimore and UC Berkeley. Mayor David Ortega said, "[She] has the extensive experience and proven track record of enhancing Scottsdale's sustainability initiatives, and I'm pleased to have her lead our efforts." (Signals AZ)
- On Saturday, the Tour de Mesa bike event saw Carina Dinu, 7, and Ariana Dinu, 10, raise funds for displaced Ukrainian children. The two rode for almost five hours and finished despite the higher temps. "It was hard," Ariana said. "But I knew I couldn't give up because the children in Ukraine also went through many hardships, and they didn't give up. So, I decided I wouldn't give up." The original goal was $1,000, and through Saturday, they raised over $4,800. (AZCentral.com)
