“I was always taught as a child to have a heart of service, to give back to your community, to provide and make the community a better place for the next generation.”

For valuable insight on what life looks like in Orange City, we asked Deb De Haan to share her thoughts. A daughter of a former Orange City mayor, and now currently serving as mayor of the community herself, she feels thankful to live and serve in a place where the word ‘vibrant’ can be used to describe many aspects of the community.

“‘Vibrant’ is a word that we often use in Orange City, and I think it takes on many definitions, but to me personally, vibrancy comes from our citizens.”

This is Deb, and this is her #VibrantOrangeCity story.
