Congratulations to Maggie Tinsman, a proud resident of The Summit of Bettendorf, on receiving a proclamation from Mayor Bob Gallagher during this week’s City Council meeting!

Mayor Gallagher declared January 2026 as Human Trafficking Awareness Month in honor of Maggie’s tireless advocacy. In 2006, as an Iowa State Senator, Maggie fought to criminalize human trafficking in Iowa. After her legislative service, she founded Braking Traffik, an organization dedicated to ending s*x trafficking in Iowa and Illinois. To this day, she continues efforts to bring awareness to end trafficking.

Maggie’s unwavering commitment to justice and her passion for protecting the vulnerable exemplify what it means to live with purpose—a value we hold dear at The Summit. Her work reminds us that one person’s dedication can create lasting change in our community and beyond.

During last night's City Council meeting, former Iowa State Senator and Bettendorf resident Maggie Tinsman was the recipient of a proclamation. Mayor Bob Gallagher presented Tinsman with the proclamation where he declared the month of January 2026 as "Human Trafficking Awareness Month." In 2006, then Senator Tinsman, successfully fought to criminalize human trafficking in Iowa. After her time in legislature, Tinsman founded Braking Traffik, an organization dedicated to fighting s*x trafficking in Iowa and Ilinois. Tinsman is a dedicated advocate for continued training of law enforcement, advocacy programs, and justice for all victims. We extend our gratitude to Maggie Tinsman for her diligent fight against Human Trafficking locally and nationwide.

"In those days, Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. And everyone went to their own town to register.

"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room available for them.

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

"But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.'

"Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven.'" - Luke 2:1-14

On behalf of everyone at WesleyLife: Thank you to all who have blessed us with the opportunity to serve you this past year. We wish you a warm, healthy, merry Christmas surrounded by those who bring you joy.
