MOST OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW MARTHA, SHE'S AT ALL OF OUR CITY EVENTS, BUT SHE'S GONNA TALK A LOT ABOUT THE SENIOR AND SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAM THAT SHE'S REALLY HELPED GROWN OVER THE PAST YEAR IN HER SHORT TIME WITH US AS A FULL-TIMER.
UM, YOU'LL SEE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH AND, UM, EXPANSION OF OUR PROGRAMS, AND I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE VERY INVOLVED AS WELL AND ARE AWARE OF ALL THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE.
SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MARTHA.
I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO BE HERE AND SHARE ABOUT OUR SENIOR PROGRAMMING.
UH, AND I JUST WANTED TO START OFF BY SAYING HOW, UH, GRATEFUL I AM TO BE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF THE PROGRAMMING BECAUSE OF THE SUPPORT THAT WE GET FROM THE LIONS CLUB.
UM, IF IT WASN'T FOR ALL OF, YOU KNOW, THE FUNDRAISING AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY GIVE, THEN WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HOLD A LOT OF THE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE.
SO I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE, YOU KNOW, UM, JUST AN OVERVIEW AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK AS WELL.
SO, UM, ON THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS IS OUR SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE.
SO MONDAYS WE HAVE OUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS CLASS, AND WE HAVE SENIOR LUNCH TUESDAYS, WE HAVE TAI CHI, WE HAVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS, WE HAVE SENIOR LUNCH, AND WE HAVE TABLE TENNIS.
WEDNESDAYS WE HAVE BINGO, SENIOR LUNCH, SENIOR MOVIES, THURSDAYS, WE HAVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS TOPS, UM, BINGO AND SENIOR LUNCH.
AND THEN FRIDAYS WE HAVE TAI CHI, SENIOR LUNCH AND PAINTING WITH ISRAEL.
SO ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE FREE FOR THE SENIORS, COMPLETELY FREE, UM, EXCEPT THE MEALS ON WHEELS, OC SENIOR LUNCH, UM, THEY DO ASK FOR A DONATION OF $3 FROM FOR SENIORS.
AND THEN ANYBODY WHO'S UNDER THE AGE OF 60, IT'S A $5 DONATION THAT THEY REQUEST.
BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS, UM, NO COST TO OUR SENIORS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE REALLY GOOD ATTENDANCE, ESPECIALLY IN OUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS CLASSES.
WE GET ABOUT 50 SENIORS ATTENDING EACH OF THESE CLASSES.
UM, USUALLY IT'S LIKE ON A, A LOWER DAY WHERE MAYBE LIKE IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE, WE MIGHT GET LIKE 35, BUT IT'S BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT GROWTH.
AND THEN, UM, TAI CHI, WE GET ABOUT 25, UM, EIGHT, ANYWHERE FROM 18 TO 25 SENIORS THAT ATTEND REGULARLY FOR TAI CHI AND OUR PAINTING CLASS.
WE ALSO GET ABOUT 25 TO 30 SENIORS ATTENDING THAT.
AND THEN BINGO, WE TYPICALLY GET 40 TO 50 SENIORS ATTENDING THAT AS WELL.
UM, HERE ARE SOME OF OUR REGULAR RESOURCES THAT WE OFFER.
SO WE HAVE THE SHUTTLE SERVICE, WHICH WILL PICK A, PICK THE SENIORS UP FROM THEIR HOME AND BRING THEM TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER TO ATTEND THESE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES, UM, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LUNCH PROGRAM.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE CAR SERVICE, WHICH PICKS SENIORS UP FROM THEIR HOME AND WILL TAKE THEM EITHER GROCERY SHOPPING OR TO DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS.
AND THEY'RE ABLE TO SCHEDULE TWO RIDES A WEEK.
SO WHETHER THAT'S ONE ROUND TRIP RIDE OR ONE RIDE THERE.
AND THEN, UM, LIKE JUST GETTING DROPPED OFF AT TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.
BOTH OF THOSE PROGRAMS JUST CHARGES 50 CENTS EACH WAY.
UM, WE DO OFFER MONTHLY LEGAL AID WHERE SENIORS ARE ABLE TO, UM, GET LEGAL ADVICE FROM A PARALEGAL.
AND THEN WE HAVE HIGH CAP, WHICH PRETTY MUCH IS LIKE ASSISTANCE
[00:20:01]
WITH THEIR MEDI-CAL, UM, AND MEDICARE, ANY, ANY TYPE OF LIKE MEDICAL, UM, INFORMATION WHERE THEY'RE ABLE TO CALL AND GET, YOU KNOW, HELP ON QUESTIONS THAT THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW THE ANSWERS TO IF THEY'RE SWITCHING, UM, INSURANCE OR ANY OF THAT.AND THEN WE, IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, WE ALSO OFFER FREE A A RP TAX SERVICES FOR SENIORS.
SO THIS YEAR, UM, THE TAX SERVICES BEGAN IN FEBRUARY AND THEY WILL GO UNTIL, UM, THIS FRIDAY.
AND WE'VE BEEN COMPLETELY FULL.
WE HAD A WAIT LIST OF LIKE 50 SENIORS I BELIEVE, ON THE WAIT LIST BECAUSE EVERY DAY WE WERE AT MAX CAPACITY.
AND SO EACH, UM, 45 MINUTE SESSION, THERE'S SIX DIFFERENT, UM, A RP REPRESENTATIVES THAT ARE HELPING ASSIST SENIORS.
AND IT RUNS FROM, UM, I BELIEVE 9:00 AM TO 12.
SO IT'S PRETTY LIKE THEY GET THROUGH A LOT OF SENIORS EACH DAY.
I, I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT, UM, IT'S BEEN REALLY ENCOURAGING, I GUESS TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY USING THESE, UTILIZING ALL OF THESE RESOURCES.
AND THEN EVEN THE, THE SHUTTLE SERVICE AND THE CAR SERVICE.
UM, WE'RE CONSTANTLY GETTING APPLICATIONS FOR BOTH AND BOTH RESOURCES ARE BEING UTILIZED TO THE MAX.
SO WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
AND THEN OUR MONTHLY SENIOR DANCES, I KNOW, UM, A FEW OF YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR, UM, BOTH CARRIE AND ANNETTE HAVE VOLUNTEERED AT OUR DANCES.
SO ABOUT A YEAR AGO, OUR DANCES HAD ABOUT 40 SENIORS ATTENDING.
NOW ATTENDANCE IS UP TO 165, YOU KNOW, UM, FEBRUARY WAS 175 AND SENIORS ARE GIVEN, UM, FULL THREE-COURSE MEALS.
SO THEY GET APPETIZERS, THEY GET, UM, DINNER THAT WE MAKE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
AND THEN, UM, DESSERT, THEY HAVE A LIVE BAND PERFORM, THEY'RE ABLE TO DANCE.
UM, THERE'S A PHOTO BOOTH AND RAFFLES AND IT'S ALL SPONSORED BY, UM, THE LIONS CLUB.
SO WE'RE REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF OTHER CITIES I'VE TALKED TO, UM, ARE ONLY ABLE TO OFFER LIKE APPETIZER, LIGHT APPETIZERS OR A DJ, THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND BECAUSE OF THE GENEROUS SPONSORSHIP THAT WE RECEIVE, WE'RE ABLE TO, UM, GIVE THE SENIORS QUALITY.
AND SO WE HAVE, UM, A LOT OF SENIORS FROM OTHER CITIES AND OTHER COMMUNITIES COMING BECAUSE THEY'VE HEARD ABOUT HOW AMAZING LA HABRA SENIOR DANCES ARE.
AND SO WE'RE REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE IT CONTINUE TO GROW.
AND THEN, UM, WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH PROVIDENCE ST.
JUDE, AND WE HAVE HAD A HEALTH LECTURE SERIES AND A FEW SCREENINGS THAT HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT.
SO, UM, SO FAR WE HAD, THIS YEAR WE'VE HAD A HEART DISEASE AND STROKE PREVENTION SCREENING.
I MEAN LECTURE, WE'VE HAD A LECTURE ON POLYPHARMACY, SO ON USING MULTIPLE PRESCRIPTIONS AND TAKING VITAMINS AND YOU KNOW, LIKE THE DANGERS OF THAT.
AND, UM, TEACHING SENIORS ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY SHOULD BE LOOKING OUT FOR WHEN HAVING TO TAKE THEIR VARIOUS MEDICATIONS.
WE HAD A LECTURE ON OVERCOMING SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
UM, WE HAD ONE ON NEURO DEGENERATIVE DISEASES AND, UM, DIABETES IS ACTUALLY THIS MONTH.
AND THEN, UM, WE ARE GOING TO BE HAVING, UM, A HEALTH LECTURE ON STRATEGIES TO PREVENT MALNOURISHED MALNUTRITION AND THEN A HEART AND STROKE PREVENTION.
AND OF COURSE WE'RE LOOKING AT MORE TOPICS TO PARTNER WITH THEM.
UM, THEY ALSO DID A PULMONARY LUNG FUNCTION SCREENING.
THEY'RE GONNA COME THIS MONTH TO DO A BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENING.
AND THEN WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT SCHEDULING A DERMA SCAN, GRIP STRENGTH, AC CROWED ARTERY, AND A BONE DENSITY SCREENING.
AND ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE FREE.
SO IT'S BEEN REALLY, UM, GREAT TO HAVE PROVIDENCE ST.
JUDE COME AND OFFER THESE SERVICES AND THE SENIORS UTILIZE THEM FOR THE LUNG FUNCTION SCREENING.
WE HAD AT LEAST 20 SENIORS GET SCREENED.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN REALLY, UM, AWESOME TO SEE THAT.
AND THEN NEXT, SO WE'VE ALSO BEEN PARTNERING WITH VCC, THE GARY CENTER AND THE LA HABRA COLLABORATIVE.
EVERY TUESDAY THE MOBILE UNIT WILL BE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND THEY OFFER, UM, ROUTINE MEDICAL CARE CARE FOR CHRONIC UM, CONDITIONS, AND THEN ALSO PEDIATRIC CARE AND UM, BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER SCREENINGS.
SO THIS SERVICE IS NOT JUST SOLELY FOR THE SENIORS, BUT A LOT OF OUR SENIORS DO UTILIZE
[00:25:01]
THE SERVICE.IT IS HELPFUL BECAUSE, UM, A LOT OF THEM, IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GET TO THEIR PRIMARY DOCTOR OR IF, UM, THEY MAYBE HAVE ISSUES JUST WHETHER IT'S LIKE TRANSPORTATION OR JUST 'CAUSE IT'S, UH, THEY HAVE A LONG WAIT LIST TO GET SEEN BY THEIR DOCTOR.
IT'S BEEN REALLY HELPFUL TO HAVE THE VCC WELLNESS UNIT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN REGULARLY MAKING THEIR APPOINTMENTS.
AND THEN, UM, VCC HAS TOLD US THAT THEY'VE BEEN GETTING CONSISTENT, UM, INDIVIDUALS COMING AND UTILIZING THE CLINIC.
SO THAT'S WHY THEY'VE ASKED THAT EACH MONTH THAT THEY CAN STAY THERE BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE IT'S MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
AND THEN OUR MOBILE MARKET, I FEEL LIKE WITH THE MOBILE MARKET, YOU KNOW, SCOTT BRINGS IT AND THE SENIORS ARE SO SPOILED, THEY LOVE IT, THEY SWARM, YOU KNOW, UM, SO WE GET AT LEAST 35, SOMETIMES 40 SENIORS THAT WILL COME AND GO SHOPPING AND THEY'LL LEAVE WITH BAGS OF GROCERIES AND THEY'RE VERY GRATEFUL.
THERE'S SOME OF OUR SENIORS THAT ATTEND OUR FACILITY THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT HAVE, UM, A CONSISTENT LIKE HOUSING SITUATION.
AND SO A LOT OF 'EM ARE VERY, VERY GRATEFUL ON THE DAYS WHERE THE MOBILE MARKET'S THERE.
AND THEN, UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE NEW THIS YEAR, AS YOU CAN SEE IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU HAVE A SENIOR NEWSLETTER.
SO WE JUST STARTED THAT THIS YEAR.
THESE ARE THE FOUR, UH, ON THE SCREEN.
THERE'S FOUR ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD.
UM, SO FAR I'VE BEEN PRINTING TO START THE MONTH 200 AND IT'S GONE LIKE THAT.
UM, IT IS A RESOURCE FOR THEM TO SEE ALL OF THE PROGRAMS AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT WE PROVIDE THROUGHOUT THE MONTH.
AND IT'S JUST EASIER FOR THEM TO TAKE THAT AND, YOU KNOW, KEEP THAT WITH THEM AND, UM, BE ABLE TO REFER TO THAT.
SO IT INCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM MEALS ON WHEELS, UM, OC MEALS, LA HABRA, MEALS ON WHEELS, UM, ALL OF THE, THE DIFFERENT MOBILE MARKET AND YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING I'VE JUST TALKED ABOUT.
AND THEN IT ALSO HAS A LOT OF LIKE, FUN, UM, BRAIN GAMES AND, YOU KNOW, MENTAL STRENGTH BUILDING, UM, RESOURCES IN THE BACK JUST TO KEEP IT FUN.
AND THEN WE ALSO DO HAVE A PAGE WHERE WE INTRODUCE SOME OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS BECAUSE THE SENIORS COME REGULARLY AND THEY DON'T, WE DON'T ALWAYS GET TO, UM, NOT EVERYBODY GETS TO INTERACT WITH THEM AS OFTEN AS THEY PROBABLY LIKE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SO MANY OTHER THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY SERVICES, AS YOU ALL KNOW, BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL SUPPORTING SO MANY OF OUR DIFFERENT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES.
UM, WE'RE CONSTANTLY BEING PULLED AND STUFF.
SO IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO INTRODUCE OUR STAFF SO THAT WHEN SENIORS DO SEE THEM, THEY'RE ABLE TO SAY HI AND UM, BRING UP LITTLE THINGS LIKE WHETHER IT'S, OH, THIS PERSON LOVES, UM, MUSIC OR THIS PERSON HAS A DOG, OR WHATEVER.
SO IT'S JUST A LITTLE FUN WAY TO INTRODUCE OUR STAFF.
AND THEN WE ALSO BROUGHT BACK OUR TRIPS AND TOURS.
SO OUR TRIPS AND TOURS HAVE NOT BEEN BACK SINCE PRE COVI.
AND UM, SO FAR WE'VE TAKEN THE SENIORS TO PACHANGA TO SOLVANG.
AND THEN THIS MONTH WE'RE GOING TO SAN DIEGO AND WE HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, TRIPS PLANNED FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
I'M STILL WORKING ON JUST MAKING SURE EVERYTHING'S SOLIDIFIED, SO I DON'T WANNA SAY, OH, WE'RE FOR SURE GOING HERE OR THERE, BUT STAY TUNED.
BUT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED FOR THEM AND HOPEFULLY ALL OF YOU CAN JOIN US ON ONE OF THE TRIPS.
AND THEN OTHER UPCOMING EVENTS.
SO LAST YEAR WE BROUGHT BACK OUR SENIOR ADVOCACY COMMITTEE.
UM, THAT COMMITTEE WILL BE MEETING QUARTERLY AND WE'LL ACTUALLY BE HAVING A MEETING AT TOWARDS THE END OF THIS MONTH.
AND THEN, UM, OF COURSE WE PARTNER, PARTNER WITH THE ALLIANCES FOR PASTA FEST.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE OUR SENIOR HEALTH WEEK, WHICH IS THE THIRD THROUGH THE SEVENTH.
AND OUR SENIOR HEALTH FAIR, WHICH WILL BE ON NOVEMBER 7TH, SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE SAID NOVEMBER 3RD THROUGH THE SEVENTH.
UM, SO YEAH, I JUST LOOK FORWARD TO YOU GUYS ALL JOINING US FOR THESE DIFFERENT EVENTS AND THEN, UM, JUST THE SUPPORT THAT YOU GUYS GIVE AND YOU GUYS BEING ABLE TO WATCH ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS GROW.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THEM.
UH, I WANNA THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE, MRS. MS. MUNOZ.
UH, I COULD SEE THE SENIORS HOW MUCH THEY ADORE YOU AND THEY LOOK UP TO YOU AND I SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE ON, UH, EVERYDAY LIFE.
YOU KNOW, THE SENIOR CITIZENS COMMUNITY CENTER.
SO MARTHA IS THE GOLDEN TIMES NEWSLETTER, IS THAT ON THE LAHABRA WEBSITE? YES.
HOW DO I DIRECT PEOPLE TO THIS? YES.
SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE HARD COPIES AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING LIKE A FLIP BOOK 'CAUSE WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE IT THE WAY THAT YOU
[00:30:01]
WOULD, YOU KNOW, WHETHER YOU HAVE IT IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY.UM, BUT WE'VE JUST BEEN COMPARING, WE'VE BEEN COMPARING THE PRICES AND STUFF.
WE DON'T WANNA SPEND LIKE A CRAZY AMOUNT, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO UTILIZE IT FOR LIKE OUR MAGAZINE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
IT SHOULD BE WITHIN, LIKE, HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, IF NOT NEXT MONTH, WE'LL FOR SURE HAVE IT BEFORE THE THE BROCHURE COMES OUT.
IN MY, IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY HILLS WEST AND THERE THERE'S AN ASSOCIATION, LIKE THIS SATURDAY WE'RE HAVING A COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE.
AND WE TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE MM-HMM
AND SURPRISINGLY BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE LA HABRA WEBSITE, BUT NOBODY KNOWS AT ALL WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND SO WE ALSO HAVE OUR OWN NEWSLETTER.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO START PUSHING A LOT OF THIS OUT THERE.
WE HAVE AN OLDER COMMUNITY, WE'RE GETTING SOME NEW PEOPLE IN FINALLY.
BUT WE HAVE AN OLDER COMMUNITY, SO JUST, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO GET THIS MESSAGE 'CAUSE THERE'S SUCH GOOD STUFF IN HERE.
AND THE FEW PEOPLE THAT I DID TALK TO, THEY'VE UTILIZED SOME OF THE SOME OF THE, YEAH.
SO, AND IF THERE'S EVER A TIME WHERE ANY OF YOU GUYS NEED SOME COPIES MADE, UM, OF THE NEWSLETTER, 'CAUSE YOU WANT TO TAKE IT TO, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN COMMUNITIES, IF YOU REACH OUT, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A STACK, LIKE 300
YOU CAN PICK ONE UP AND THEN SEND IT TO EVERYBODY ON YOUR NEWSLETTER.
YEAH, THAT'S, I LIKE THE ADDED THAT'S A LOT.
DO YOU LIKE BITS AND PIECES ON EACH NEWSLETTER? YEAH.
SO, UM, AND THEN IF THERE'S EVER ANYTHING THAT YOU GUYS FEEL LIKE, UM, IN MAY THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A DIFFERENT COMMITTEE ON OR WHATEVER AND YOU'D LIKE IT ADDED IN THE SENIOR NEWSLETTER BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE A GREAT RESOURCE TO OUR SENIORS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
'CAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO ADD ANY OTHER PARTNERSHIP.
UM, LIKE I KNOW LAST MONTH WE HAD THE, UM, THE MOBILE VET CLINIC AND SO WE ADDED THAT AND WE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE ATTEND THAT, YOU KNOW, JUST FROM SEEING IT FROM IN THE SENIOR NEWSLETTER AS WELL.
WELL WE ALSO HAVE A ANNUAL ASSOCIATION MEETING AND YOU KNOW, THE POLICE CHIEF COMES AND SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS COME, RA COMES MM-HMM
SO MAYBE YOU'LL COME NEXT TIME.
ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, IS THERE ANY, UH, UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW FEASIBLE IT WOULD BE IN THE FACILITY, BUT ANY LIKE FREE TIME WHERE SENIORS CAN JUST WALK IN AND HANG OUT, PLAY CARDS, UM, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT HAVING TO BE A PART OF A, A EXERCISE OR WHATEVER.
IS THERE ANYTHING LIKE THAT? YES.
ON UM, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT PAGE, BUT, UM, IT'S PAGE TWO.
SO ON PAGE FOUR THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A DESCRIPTION OF IT.
WE HAVE UM, CARDS, WE HAVE DOMINOES, WE HAVE COLORING PAGES AND, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES FOR SENIORS TO JUST KIND OF BORROW AND HANG OUT WITH EACH OTHER.
UHHUH A LOT OF THE SENIORS WILL EVEN JUST ORGANIZE, LIKE IF THEY WANT TO PLAY LIKE TIA OR WHATEVER.
LIKE THEY ORGANIZE THAT AMONGST EACH OTHER AND THEY JUST HANG OUT.
AND THEN WE ALSO, UM, HAVE LIKE AMBIANCE MUSIC PLAYING.
SOMETIMES WE'LL PUT TV SHOWS AND STUFF.
SO THEY'RE ABLE TO JUST HANG OUT.
SO SOME OF THEM WILL GET THERE AS SOON AS IT OPENS AT 9:00 AM AND THEN, UM, WE CLOSE AT TWO.
SO, UM, FROM ALL OF THAT, BECAUSE WE HAVE RECREATION CLASSES, SO WE CAN'T KEEP THE ROOM JUST FOR THE SENIORS, YOU KNOW.
BUT A LOT OF THEM WILL STAY UNTIL THAT TIME BECAUSE THEY LOVE HANGING OUT WITH EACH OTHER.
IT'S LIKE THEY'RE HOME AWAY FROM HOME, YOU KNOW.
WELL THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS THAT IN OUR, UM, SHORT TERM PLAN WITHIN THIS YEAR, WE UM, ARE GONNA BE HOPEFULLY, UM, RENOVATING THE ELECTRONICS BUILDING AND THE CHIROPRACTOR BUILDING.
THE CITY BOUGHT THOSE TWO BUILDINGS.
AND REMEMBER WE'RE THE WOMEN'S CLUB AND THE LA HABRA ART ASSOCIATION HAVE, UM, GRACIOUSLY ACCEPTED TO MOVE INTO THESE NEW BUILDINGS.
AND SO THAT WILL FREE UP THE CURRENT, UM, SITE, WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY CENTER EXPANSION, WHERE THEY ARE BOTH HOUSED.
AND WE ARE GONNA BE TURNING THAT INTO A DEDICATED SENIOR CENTER SATELLITE CENTER.
AND SO THOSE HOURS WILL CERTAINLY BE EXTENDED.
YOU KNOW, WE BELIEVE, WE'LL PROBABLY NINE O'CLOCK TO SIX O'CLOCK.
UM, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE PROGRAMMING THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AS MARTHA DOES NOW.
BUT WE'LL MOVE A LOT OF IT OVER TO THE SENIOR CENTER AND THEN IT WILL HAVE A DEDICATED LOUNGE, UM, LIKE WE TRY TO DO NOW AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
BUT BECAUSE OF PROGRAMMING, AS MARTHA SAID, UM, THEY'LL HAVE THEIR OWN SPACE.
AND SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT PROJECT.
IT'S GOING OUT TO BID AGAIN TO UH, UH, GET A CONTRACTOR THAT CAN COME AND, AND MEET THE BUDGET THAT WE HAVE SET FOR IT.
AND, AND WE'RE HOPING, AND WE WE'RE TOLD WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FINISH THAT BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
WOULD YOU BE OFFERING FOR THE SENIORS AND THE RESIDENTS
[00:35:01]
A COOLING PLACE MAYBE DURING THE SUMMER WHERE IT'S REALLY WARM, TOO HOT, THAT THEY CAN GO IN AND COOL DOWN? YES.SO WE ALREADY REGULARLY OFFER THAT ON THE SUMMER, UM, DAYS WHERE IT'S EXTREMELY HOT, WE OPEN UP THE COMMUNITY CENTER AS A COOLING FACILITY WHERE WE HAVE THE AC AND WE'LL HAVE, UM, THE TV AND THEY'RE ABLE TO KIND OF LIKE FLIP THROUGH OUR AMAZON PRIME OR YOU KNOW, WHATEVER STREAMING SERVICE AND JUST RELAX.
USUALLY THAT'S OPEN, UH, I WANNA SAY FROM LIKE 8:00 AM TO, UM, 6:00 PM MM-HMM
IT TILL WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN AND IT STARTS TO COOL DOWN A BIT, YOU KNOW, BUT WE DO, IT'S JUST WHEN THE TEMPERATURE HITS LIKE A CERTAIN DEGREE, THEN YES, WE OPEN IT UP AND THEN WE DO OFFER WATER.
YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE A WATER DISPENSER AND THEN WE OFFER SNACKS AND STUFF AS WELL FOR SENIORS TO JUST HANG OUT THERE.
WE HAVE COLORING PAGES AND UM, LITTLE PUZZLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND THEY'RE ABLE TO, AND IT'S OPEN TO ANYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY, NOT JUST THE SENIORS FAMILIES IF THEY DON'T HAVE AIR CONDITIONING AND THEY DON'T WANNA BE, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE BECAUSE, BUT NO PETS.
SO AT OUR FACILITY, WE, UM, IT'S, IT'S ONLY, UM, SERVICE, ANIMALS SERVICE, BUT OF COURSE LIKE WE'RE NOT ABLE TO QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT SOMEBODY IS A SERVICE ANIMAL.
THANK YOU MARTHA,
AND IF YOU GUYS EVER HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS, LIKE I SAID, QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
I AM LOOKING FOR WAYS TO CONTINUE TO, UM, MAKE OUR SENIOR PROGRAMMING ROBUST AND QUALITY.
SO IF YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS, I AM ALWAYS OPEN TO THAT.
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF WISDOM SITTING UP THERE.
SO PLEASE, I, UH, A LOT OF SENIORS TOO.
WELL WE, NOT ME, WELL MOST OF US UP HERE FALL IN THAT SENIOR CATEGORY SOMEWHERE OR ANOTHER.
BUT MARTHA, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU AND YOUR DEPARTMENT AND ALL THE, UM, EMPLOYEES THERE, YOU KNOW, THEY MAKE IT SO THAT THE SENIORS FEEL WELCOME.
YOU KNOW, THEY FEEL LIKE THEY COULD GO THERE AND ENJOY AND JUST LIKE YOU SAID, HANG OUT AT THE LOUNGE OR YOU KNOW, JOIN IN SOME OF THE CLASSES.
SO WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO, YOU YOU DO QUITE A BIT.
UM, ANTHONY, KIM, WE APPRECIATE YOU AS WELL.
YOU GO FAR ABOVE AND OVER THAT WHAT'S EXPECTED,
YOU GUYS ARE GREAT AND WE ALL KNOW THAT.
CAN I ASK A QUESTION OF THE TWO OF US? YES.
IS IT THE SAME ONES THAT PREVIOUSLY? UM, NO.
SO I KNOW BEFORE WE USED TO USE GOOD TIMES TRAVEL, WE WILL BE HAVING A FEW EXCURSIONS COMING UP WHERE WE PARTNER WITH THEM, BUT THIS YEAR WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINGS IN-HOUSE AND UM, WE'VE BEEN USING THE COMPANY FAST YEAR CHARTER AND THEY'VE BEEN REALLY GOOD, VERY RELIABLE.
MINE, I HAD TRAVELED A LOT WITH PREVIOUS GROUP, THEY WERE GREAT.
REMEMBER THE HOT DOG? UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S HOT, JUST LITTLE PRICIER THAN US TURNING IN-HOUSE, SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THE AFFORDABLE, THAT'S WHY WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH.
OKAY, NEXT UP IS OUR SENIOR, NO IS OUR LAHABRA CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION UPDATES.
UM, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL MONTHS INTO THE NEW YEAR.
WE HAVE A LOT OF EXCITING THINGS COMING UP IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS.
UM, FIRST HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS ARE ALL FOLLOWING THE CENTENNIAL, UM, LAHABRA CENTENNIAL PAGE.
IT'S LAHABRA 100 ON INSTAGRAM AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE, BUT IT HAS A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION ON THERE.
RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE PROMOTING ARE THE A HUNDRED THINGS TO DO IN LAHABRA.
AND EACH MONTH, ACTUALLY MARTHA PUTS THAT TOGETHER.
BUT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A VARIETY OF THINGS YOU CAN DO EACH MONTH.
AND, UM, WE'RE REALLY HOPING THAT YOU WILL TAG YOURSELF, UM, AND TAKE A SELFIE AND POST IT TO TRY TO HELP GET THE WORD OUT OF ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT WE HAVE HERE, RIGHT HERE IN LA HABRA.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF NEAT DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES.
AND ONE OF 'EM RIGHT NOW FOR APRIL IS IF YOU GO TO RED ROBIN, TELL 'EM THAT YOU'RE PART OF THE LA HABRA CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
YOU WILL GET EITHER A FREE APPETIZER OR A FREE DESSERT.
UM, AND SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING THROUGHOUT THE MONTH.
UM, EVERYTHING'S EVERY MONTH IS DIFFERENT, BUT UM, AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY TO, UM, LEARN MORE ABOUT LA HABRA TO SEE ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS WE HAVE IN THE HABRA.
SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WE HAVE OUR OWN CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
THEY DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE OUR OWN DEPOT THEATER.
SO THERE'S JUST A LOT OF, UM, GREAT THINGS THAT WE CAN TRY TO HELP PROMOTE TO GET THE WORD OUT.
I'M GONNA ACTUALLY ASK ANTHONY TO PASS THESE OUT.
[00:40:01]
THE NEXT THING IS WE'RE DOING A CENTENNIAL MAP.UM, SOME OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR, WE DID IT, I GUESS IT'S 20 2011.
UM, AND IT WAS A BUSINESS, UM, UH, PROGRAM.
AND SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING, WE'RE GONNA BE DOING IT AGAIN.
THEY'LL BE AVAILABLE HOPEFULLY FOR SALE AT THE CORN FESTIVAL, UM, THIS SUMMER.
BUT WE DON'T WANNA LEAVE ANYONE OFF.
SO IF YOU OR ANYONE OR ANY ORGANIZATION OR BUSINESS THAT YOU CAN THINK OF WOULD BE INTERESTED, PLEASE, UM, GIVE 'EM THIS INFORMATION.
WE ALSO, UM, ARE GONNA BE FLEXIBLE IF YOU NEED TO DO A PAYMENT PLAN OR, UM, A TRADE WITH, YOU KNOW, SOME SERVICES OR TICKETS OR THINGS, WE'LL BE FLEXIBLE.
UM, THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS THAT THIS PRICE THAT YOU SEE ON HERE, IT HAS NOT BEEN RAISED SINCE IT WAS DONE IN 2011.
SO WE WANTED TO MAKE IT AFFORDABLE AT A REASONABLE PRICE.
UM, SO YOU CAN CERTAINLY SHOW THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THESE PRICES ARE 2011.
UM, WE ALSO JUST WANNA MAKE SURE NO ONE FEELS LEFT OFF.
SO TRY TO SHARE IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE THIS AS PART OF OUR CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO'S WHO, UM, AS FAR AS ORGANIZATIONS, PEOPLE, PLACES, THINGS, RESTAURANTS.
SO, UM, HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SHARE IT.
IT'S ALSO ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA IF YOU WANNA RESHARE IT, UM, ON YOUR PAGES, WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
AND THEN, UH, EVERYBODY THAT DOES, UH, ACCEPT IT AND BUYS IT, THEY GET 25 COPIES, RIGHT? IF YOU PAY FULL PRICE AND, UM, THERE'S NO BARTERING AT ALL OR NO TRADE IN SERVICES AND THINGS, YES, YOU GET 25 POSTERS AND THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE ORGANIZATION OR BUSINESS TO RESELL 'EM AND REALLY RECOUP THEIR MONEY.
UM, OR INVESTMENT ON, ON UM, PAYING TO HAVE A SPOT ON THE MAP.
UM, IF YOU DON'T DO THAT, UM, AND WE DO SOME TRADE, YOU WOULD NOT GET ALL THE PRINTS.
KIM, IS THERE A DEADLINE NOW? 'CAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE, THERE WAS ONE DID THE EXTENDED, WE'RE EXTENDING IT.
UM, TWO, I DON'T WANNA SAY THROUGH APRIL, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GIVING AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO THE ARTISTS RIGHT NOW, BUT WE ARE, UM, A LITTLE LIGHT ON, ON UM, BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS.
UM, BUT YOU REALLY HAVE ABOUT UNTIL THE END OF THIS MONTH, VERY END OF THE MONTH.
AND THEN WE NEED TO, UM, GIVE EVERYTHING TO THE ARTIST.
UM, SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED OR NEED MORE INFORMATION, LET ME KNOW.
AND THEN I THINK WE TALKED BRIEFLY THAT WE ARE GONNA BE DOING A, UM, LEGENDS AND LEGACY DINNER, UM, AUGUST 21ST.
AND THAT'S REALLY GONNA BE A TIME WHERE WE CELEBRATE, UM, FROM 1925 ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH 2025.
SO HOPEFULLY YOU'LL ALL MARK YOUR CALENDARS MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW, THAT'LL BE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND, UM, PLANNED BY AND HOSTED BY THE CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE, CELEBRATION COMMITTEE.
UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION? NO.
UM, I'M GONNA LET ANTHONY, UH, TALK ABOUT OUR UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS, BUT I JUST WANTED TO, UM, REMIND EVERYONE TO PLEASE RCP FOR THE ANNUAL DONOR AND VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION.
YOU SHOULD HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN AN INVITATION, BUT PLEASE LET US KNOW.
UM, WE'RE GONNA DO SOME EXTRA SPECIAL THINGS BECAUSE IT IS A CENTENNIAL YEAR, SOME SPECIAL GIFTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, UM, IT'LL BE A GREAT LATE AFTERNOON EVENT.
IT'LL BE DINNER THIS YEAR TO DO A QUESTION.
CARRIE? I DID, UM, CARMEN MILLER FROM UM, I DID TALK TO HER TODAY.
'CAUSE SHE SAID SHE HADN'T RECEIVED THE INVITATION.
I HAD A COUPLE DIFFERENT EMAILS, SO YEAH, WE TALKED AND EVERYTHING'S GOOD.
I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ANTHONY.
LEMME JUMP RIGHT IN ONE MORE TIME.
UM, MOST IMPORTANTLY, SO WE HAVE THE VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION, UM, ON THE 24TH OF APRIL.
AND THEN, UM, WE HAVE OUR NEW GRAND OPENING FOR A LOS RAINS WOMEN'S CLUB PARK.
30TH MEMBERS HERE,
30TH AT 5:00 PM YEAH, SO EVERYONE'S INVITED.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE THE COMMISSION IS THERE AND HAVE STRONG SUPPORT, BUT IT'S A REALLY EXCITING, UM, NEW PARK HERE IN THE COMMUNITY.
THE WHOLE TOWN'S EXCITED AND IT LOOKS AMAZING.
SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE YOU ALL OUT THERE.
ALRIGHT, I'LL BE GOING OVER SOME OF THE UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS WE HAVE AND RECAPPING A COUPLE OF THE ONES THAT PASSED AS WELL.
UH, APRIL HAS BEEN AND WILL BE A VERY BUSY MONTH.
UH, WE STARTED WITH THE HIRING FAIR THIS PAST SATURDAY WHERE WE WERE HIRING FOR, UH, TEACHERS AND TEACHERS ASSISTANTS FOR OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT DIVISION, AS WELL AS RECREATION LEADERS FOR BOTH DAY CAMP AND OUR FACILITIES AND VISITOR SERVICES ASSISTANTS AT THE MUSEUM.
UH, OUR ATTENDANCE WAS A LITTLE LESS THAN WE EXPECTED, BUT WE WERE STILL ABLE TO MEET ALL OF OUR STAFFING GOALS AND, UM, WE ENDED UP HIRING EIGHT TEACHERS ASSISTANTS.
UH, WE JUST WRAPPED UP SOME INTERVIEWS WITH SOME RECREATION LEADERS TODAY.
UH, SO I BELIEVE WE GOT THREE RECREATION LEADERS FOR OUR FACILITIES AND ANOTHER FIVE FOR OUR DAY CAMPS.
UH, WE'RE HOPING THAT THEY CAN START, UH, IN THE BEGINNING OF MAY SO THAT WAY THEY'RE ONBOARD AND READY TO GO FOR OUR BUSY SUMMER.
[00:45:01]
ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE THE SENIOR DANCE.I JUST SPOKE WITH MARTHA AND WE HAVE ABOUT 80 PEOPLE REGISTERED SO FAR.
UH, ALTHOUGH THE BULK OF OUR REGISTRATIONS DO COME LEADING UP TO THE EVENT RIGHT BEFORE THAT FRIDAY AND EVEN ON THURSDAY, A LOT OF PEOPLE COME IN AND ARE SIGNING UP THEN.
SO WE'LL HAVE A, A FULL NUMBER FOR YOU, UH, NEXT MONTH, BUT IT'S LOOKING LIKE IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER GREAT TURNOUT.
ANOTHER, UH, EASILY OVER A HUNDRED, 150.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED FOR THAT.
UH, FOLLOWING ON THAT THE NEXT WEEK WE HAVE OUR EGG NIGHT GLOW IN THE DARK EGG HUNT.
UH, THIS EVENT LAST YEAR SOLD OUT 150 SPOTS.
UH, THIS YEAR WE'RE CURRENTLY AT 64 SOLD.
AND THEN THAT'S ANOTHER ONE TOO THAT LAST WEEK RIGHT BEFORE LEADING UP TO THE EVENT IS WHERE WE GET A HUGE AMOUNT OF OUR SALES FOR THAT.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE TRAINING TOWARDS ANOTHER SELLOUT THIS YEAR.
UM, YOU HAVE THE FLYER FOR IT UP ON THE DAYS WITH YOU.
UH, IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED, UH, I WOULD RECOMMEND GETTING IT NOW BECAUSE ONCE WE SELL OUT, WE SELL OUT.
WE DON'T NECESSARILY OPEN UP ANY MORE SPOTS.
SO, UH, TRY TO GET IT IN IF YOU CAN.
AND THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT WE HAVE OUR SPRING FAMILY EXTRAVAGANZA.
UM, CURRENTLY WE HAVE 108 WRISTBANDS SOLD AND ONCE AGAIN, LIKE A LOT OF THESE EVENTS PEOPLE TEND TO BUY RIGHT BEFORE THE START OF THE EVENT.
UM, BUT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS ONE AGAIN.
I JUST SAW OUR NEW BUNNY COSTUME CAME IN TODAY, SO YOU'LL SEE ONE OF OUR REGULATORS RUNNING AROUND TAKING PICTURES.
UH, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL ONCE AGAIN HAVE A HELICOPTER DROP PANCAKE BREAKFAST, UH, ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE COME TO EXPECT FROM THE EXTRAVAGANZA AND MORE.
UM, KIM ALREADY SPOKE ON VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION DAY, BUT ALSO RIGHT AFTER THAT ON THAT SATURDAY IS LOVE LA HABRA.
UM, CURRENTLY WE HAVE 30 VOLUNTEERS, SO WE'RE LOOKING TO GET THAT NUMBER UP, BUT I JUST SPOKE TO STAFF TODAY AND UH, WE MIGHT BE GETTING A SIGNIFICANT BOOST TO THAT.
WE MADE CONTACT WITH SOME OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE AREA, SO HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT WEEK THAT NUMBER WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE.
BUT WE'RE STILL LOOKING FOR MORE VOLUNTEERS.
UH, WE'RE REACHING OUT TO HIGH SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET.
BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER AVENUES AS WELL, WE REALLY WANT TO GET THE WORD OUT.
UM, THE COMMITTEE IS MEETING AND NARROWING DOWN SOME PROJECTS AS WELL NOW AND WE'RE STILL ACCEPTING PROJECTS TOO.
SO FAR, ANTHONY, HOW MANY PROJECTS ARE THEY CURRENTLY, UM, GONNA BE TRYING TO TACKLE? UH, THAT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS WE CAN GET.
UH, WE KIND OF CHANGE THAT DEPENDING ON HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS.
UH, THE LAST I SAW, WE HAD ABOUT 25 SUBMITTED.
UH, SO JUST DEPENDING ON HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS AND HOW UM, HOW MUCH OF A TASK THE PROJECT IS.
'CAUSE NOT ALL PROJECTS ARE CREATED EQUALLY NECESSARILY.
SOME REQUIRE MORE, SOME REQUIRE LESS.
UM, SO I'LL HAVE A, A BETTER FIGURE FOR YOU AS KIND OF WE NARROW DOWN THAT VOLUNTEER GOAL.
AND HOW DO YOU SIGN UP? IT'S ALL THROUGH THE LOVE THE HOPPER WEBSITE.
SO ON THE FLYER ON THE DAYS, UM, EVERYTHING'S DONE THROUGH THE LOVE THE HUBBER WEBSITE.
SO IF YOU HAVE PROJECT IDEAS, YOU SUBMIT IT DIRECTLY THERE AND IF YOU WANT TO BE A VOLUNTEER, YOU ALSO SIGN UP DIRECTLY THERE.
SO WILL YOU BE OPENING UP THE ATRIUM LIKE LAST YEAR WHERE THEY HAD THE COLORING FOR THE KIDS AND MAKING CARDS FOR THE SENIORS? YES.
YES, THEY'RE MAKING CARDS AGAIN.
AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR DONATIONS TOO? YES, YES.
WHERE IS THAT SENT TO? HOW DO YOU DO THAT? UH, WOULD THAT BE THE COMMUNITY CENTER HERE? RIGHT? YEAH, IT SHOULD BE ONLINE TOO.
YEAH, IT COULD ALSO BE ONLINE IF IT'S FINANCIAL, BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE DO DONATE PHYSICAL GOODS.
SO IF IT IS A PHYSICAL GOOD, WHETHER IT'S GLOVES, MASK, AND TRASH BAGS.
SO LET'S SAY FOR THE ATRIUM, WOULD IT BE LIKE COLOR, COLOR, UH, CRAYONS, PAINTS? YEAH.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE AS DONATIONS, WHAT KIND OF DONATIONS WOULD, UH, MARTHA NEED? WE'RE PROBABLY NOT GONNA BE PAINTING CARDS, BUT ANY, UM, MATERIALS FOR CARD MAKING MARKERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON LOVE LA HABRA AT THE MOMENT, CAN'T WAIT.
AND THEN LOOKING TOWARDS MAY AS WELL, ANOTHER BUSY MONTH THAT'S GONNA GET STARTED WITH THE CICHUS FAIR FROM THE SECOND TO THE FOURTH, UH, KIDS NIGHT OUT WILL BE HAPPENING AGAIN ON THE NINTH.
THAT'S A CINCO DE MAYO THEME, SO THAT'S GONNA BE REALLY EXCITING.
WE'LL HAVE A TACO BAR AND EVERYTHING.
UH, MOVIES IN THE PARK IS ALSO GONNA GET STARTED ALREADY IN ALMOST A MONTH FROM NOW ON THE 16TH.
SO YOU ALL HAVE A FLYER AS WELL THAT HAS THEIR SCHEDULE FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER.
THEY'RE ALL GONNA BE TAKING PLACE AT PORTOLA PARK, UH, JUST FOR CONVENIENCE AND FOR SOME CONTINUITY.
AND UH, WHAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO FOCUS ON THIS YEAR IS MAKING EACH EVENT KIND OF UNIQUE.
SO EVERY, EVERY MOVIE WILL HAVE ITS OWN SLATE OF ACTIVITIES AND, UM, FAMILY GAMES, ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, LIKE SANDLOT WILL BE KICKING OFF, WE'LL HAVE A WIFFLE BALL GAME.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME SPORTS THEMED INFLATABLES AS WELL.
UM, MOANA, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TROPICAL SHAVED DICE AND WE'RE LOOKING AT GETTING, UM, MAYBE A POLYNESIAN DANCE PERFORMANCE TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SET THE MOOD FOR THE MOVIE.
SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO MAKE IT, UH, AN ATTRACTION AND MAKE IT SOMETHING THAT THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN DO.
[00:50:01]
JUST SHOWING UP FOR THE MOVIE, BUT, YOU KNOW, MAKING AN EVENING OUT OF IT.SO WE'RE REALLY PUSHING TOWARDS THAT AND WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO START THAT AS WELL.
AND I THINK, I BELIEVE THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR APRIL AND MAY UPCOMING.
UH, WAS THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING ON THE CALENDAR, NOT JUST UPCOMING, BUT IN THE FUTURE? IN THE PAST I DO.
UH, FOR OCTOBER AT THIS THIRD TIME THAT I ASKED, I I WAS REQUESTING THAT ON THE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE.
UM, IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN INCORPORATE THE DAY OF THE DEAD? UM, IT'S OCTOBER, UH, IT ORIGINATED IN OAXACA AND THERE'S LIKE 70% OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE HISPANIC ARE FROM HUA, OAXACA, AND A LOT OF 'EM, UM, PARTICIPATED IN THE CORN FESTIVAL PARADE THIS IN LAST YEAR.
AND SO A LOT OF 'EM ARE ASKING IF, YOU KNOW, ALONG WITH MYSELF IF, IF SOMEHOW THAT WE CAN INCORPORATE THAT INTO, UH, OCTOBER'S OPEN HOUSE.
YEAH, WE'VE BEEN GETTING THAT FEEDBACK AND WE'VE BEEN LOOKING INTERNALLY, WE'VE ALSO BEEN MAKING SURE THAT OUR EVENT DOESN'T, UM, INTERRUPT ANY OTHER DAY OF THE DEAD CELEBRATIONS THAT ARE GOING ON IN THE CITY, WHETHER IT BE WITH THE CHURCHES OR ANYTHING.
SO WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING INTO IT AND SEEING HOW WE CAN INCORPORATE THAT.
WE'RE THE ONLY CITY THAT DOESN'T OFFER IT.
AND I BELIEVE, UH, THE DAY OF THE DEAD THIS YEAR, IS IT THE 30TH? IT'S ACTUALLY NOVEMBER OF FIRST.
IT'S THE DAY AFTER, SO YEAH, WE, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THE WHOLE STREET, BUT MAYBE, YOU KNOW, ONE STATION WE CAN GET A BOOTH AND JUST, YOU KNOW, A DECORAT IT.
THAT'S, THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL.
WE CAN UM, AND THEN, BUT YOU KNOW, ON THE STREET NOT LIKE HERE IN THE PARKING.
AS WE START MEETING AS A GROUP TO, TO REALLY NAIL DOWN COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE THIS YEAR, UH, I'LL BRING THAT.
I'LL BRING THAT INPUT AS ALONG THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM DOES CELEBRATE, UM, AT THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
THEY HAVE A BIG ACTIVITY ON THAT TO CELEBRATE AS WELL.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.
ALRIGHT, NEXT UP IS COMMENTS FROM STAFF? NOPE.
WE JUST WANNA THANK THE COMMISSION FOR THEIR SUPPORT.
UM, IT MEANS A LOT WHEN YOU'RE AT OUR EVENTS OR WHEN YOU'RE SHARING THE INFORMATION, UM, WHETHER IT'S IN PERSON OR THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.
UM, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT.
MAYBE NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO UM, COMMUNITY SERVICES, BUT I READ THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE CITY SITE.
THERE WAS A LA HABER BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN, UH, PUBLIC STUDY SESSION.
I WASN'T AVAILABLE THAT NIGHT.
I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY OTHER SESSIONS PLANNED.
UM, I BELIEVE THERE ARE UM, SOME ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETINGS THAT ARE PLANNED, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE DATES YET.
YEAH, IT'S NOT FOR HAD A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
AND THE OTHER QUESTION IS, UM, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO SCHEDULE A PRE-OPENING TOUR OF THE CULLEY CENTENNIAL PARK AND MAYBE COULD THAT BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF A MAY OR JUNE MEETING? THAT WOULD BE NICE.
I WILL CERTAINLY LOOK INTO THAT.
UM, JUST SO YOU KNOW, KELLY AND I LITERALLY BARELY GOT A TOUR, UM, THREE WEEKS AGO.
IT'S A LITTLE HARD FOR US TO GET UP THERE, UM, BECAUSE IT IS CLOSED STILL TO THE PUBLIC OF COURSE.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION STILL GOING ON.
BUT LEMME SEE WHAT WE CAN DO AND IF IT MAKES SENSE FOR US TO GO UP THERE, UM, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, I'LL CERTAINLY MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO YEAH.
I FIGURED IT'D BE NICE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND YEP.
AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE ANTICIPATED DATE HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK AND WE'RE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY THE END OF SUMMER.
UM, WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE MAYBE OUR, EVEN OUR LAST CONCERT UP THERE, BUT, UM, IT'S, THAT'S JUST NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
SO, UM, BUT IT DOES LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL PART.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL WORK ON THAT FOR YOU.
SO I, I, UH, FOR THE COMMISSIONERS AT THE EXTRAVAGANZA, UH, THE ARCHITECT WILL BE THERE AND THEY WILL BE HAVING, UH, SURVEYS AND UM, ILLUSTRATIONS, PICTURES OF WHAT THAT RENOVATION WOULD LOOK FOR.
LA HARBOR BOULEVARD AND YOU CAN SEE IT.
IF YOU GO EXTRAVAGANZA, THEY'LL BE THERE.
YEAH, I HAVE ANOTHER COMMITMENT, BUT ANYWAY.
COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS? VERONICA? NO, I'M GOOD.
UH, THIS SATURDAY WILL BE THE PANCAKE BREAKFAST FOR THE LIONS, THE HARBOR HOST LIONS AT EL CENTRAL PARK, $6 AND ALL THE BENEFITS WILL GO TO, UM, BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.
IF YOU HAVEN'T GONE, YOU NEED TO GO.
UH, WE STARTED, UM, GIVING OUT A SCHOLARSHIP TO
[00:55:01]
THE STUDENT, UH, IN OF THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS HERE IN LAHABRA THAT DON'T WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE NECESSARILY, BUT WANNA GO TO A TRADE SCHOOL.SO THAT, UH, SCHOLARSHIP THAT GOES FOR THAT STUDENT.
AND, UM, I GAVE EVERYBODY A FLYER.
IT INCLUDES YOUR LUNCH, ALL THE DRINKS YOU WANT, DESSERT, AND THEN YOU PLAY BUN.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN, WELL 10 YEARS WHEN I FIRST GOT SWORN INTO COMMUNITY SERVICES, SO, UM, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS AND I DID ALMOST EIGHT, TWO YEARS ON PLANNING AND THEN MY, UH, DEBUT ON CITY COUNCIL FOR 10 MONTHS OR EIGHT MONTHS OR WHATEVER IT WAS.
ALL I HAVE IS TO WELCOME CARRIE, AND THIS IS GONNA BE A FUN YEAR.
SO IF YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE, WE'LL ADJOURN THIS MEETING TO WEDNESDAY, MAY 14TH AT SIX 30 IN THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER.
