WANT TO PUT ON THE CALL TO ACTION.[Community Multicultural Commission on June 15, 2023. ]
UH, DOES, DO, DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA NOW? I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE, UH, QR CODE.WE TALKED ABOUT A LINK THAT WOULD LEAD, LEAD YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE.
WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, A PHONE BANK, UH, BEING ABLE TO LEAVE A MESSAGE AND IT GO OUT TO A PARTICULAR GROUP, UH, FOR THE PHONE BANK.
WE DID FIND OUT IN THAT MEETING THAT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO MONITOR IT.
IT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING THAT RENEE COULD DO FOR US.
UM, MAYBE IT COULD BE SET UP FOR AN OPTION 1, 2, 3 FOR THESE PARTICULAR AREAS OR DEPARTMENT.
UM, ANYBODY HAS ANY IDEAS? I QUESTION BROUGHT MY NOTES FROM LAST WEEK.
I NEED TO LOOK OVER, I NEED TO LOOK OVER MY NOTES MORE.
I DID NOT GET A CHANCE BECAUSE I REMEMBER THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THE QR AND THEN ALSO BREAKING DOWN THE FILM PROJECT INTO LIKE, LIKE, UM, BITES, LIKE FOR LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA AND STUFF TOO.
SO LIKE IF WE WANNA CALL TO ACTION TO THOSE VIDEOS AND THEN THE CALL TO ACTION FOR WHEN WE PRESENT AS WELL.
BUT THERE WAS A QUESTION, UM, THAT WE ALL HAD LIKE, THAT WE WANTED TO ASK, LIKE, HOW DO YOU FIT IN? OR LIKE, WHAT'S YOUR PART OF THE STORY? OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT I WROTE IT DOWN AND I FORGOT IF ANYBODY REMEMBERS.
THAT WAS THE, UH, WE WANTED IT TO LEAD PEOPLE.
WELL HAVE AN ENDING QUESTION TO WHOEVER'S VIEWING IT NOW THAT YOU'VE SEEN THIS AND HOW THESE PEOPLE CONNECT WITH GARLAND.
SO WAS IT CALLED YOU DO, HOW DO YOU YEAH.
HOW DO YOU AND THEN, AND INVITE THEM TO RESPOND.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE QR CODE AND THE OTHER THINGS, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY SCAN THAT, CONNECT TO IT, AND THEN THEY MIGHT RECORD.
I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THEY MIGHT RECORD THEIR SHORT SENTENCE ON THAT.
THAT WAS THE PHONE THING, RIGHT? SO YES.
I DON'T KNOW IF, IF THAT CAN'T BE MONITORED, THEN I DON'T KNOW HOW WE COULD WELL, IT, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE RECORDED.
IN OTHER WORDS, JUST CALL IN, RECORD IT.
AND THEN AT SOME POINT, SOMEONE ON THE COMMITTEE CITY STAFF WOULD GO THROUGH AND LOOK AT IT AND SAY, OH, CHARLES PICKETT CALLED AND HE SAID THIS AND THIS AND THIS.
IF WE COULD AT SOME FUTURE DATE GO, OOH, LET'S GO BACK AND GRAB THAT PERSON AND GET THEM CONNECTED INTO SOMETHING, SOME ASPECT OF IT.
AND THE MONITORING, LIKE I SAID, CANNOT BE DONE BY THE CITY STAFF.
UM, WANTING TO, AS LONG AS IT GO INTO A RECORDING BANK AND THEN WE COULD FIGURE OUT HOW WE DO THAT.
SO CAN WE, UM, AGREE THAT, BECAUSE NONE OF US BROUGHT OUR NOTES FROM LAST MONTH,
UM, BEFORE THURSDAY NEXT WEEK.
SHOOT AN EMAIL BACK INTO REGARDS OF, UM, IN REGARDS TO HOW DO YOU BELONG, UM, TYING IT ALL IN.
I KNOW THESE MEETINGS ARE GOOD.
WE, WE BRAINSTORM, BUT IF WE DON'T FOLLOW UP WITH AN EMAIL OR GIVE US AN EXECUTION DATE, THEN WE'LL JUST KEEP BRAINSTORMING.
WE PUT OUT SOME IDEAS LAST MONTH AS TO HOW TO GET, UH, FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS, A SURVEY FROM PEOPLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY BELONG IN GARLAND AND WHAT WE CAN TIE INTO THIS QR CODE OR TO A LINK.
IT IT IS ALSO JUNETEENTH WEEKEND.
DO Y'ALL NEED A DAY OR TWO MORE? WHAT WORKS? TUESDAY OR THURSDAY? THURSDAY WOULD BE BETTER.
SO LET'S JUST SAY BY THURSDAY, WHAT DAY WAS THAT? 22ND.
WE CAN, UH, PUT OUT AN EMAIL AND THEN I'LL SEND AN EMAIL OUT AND THEN WE CAN, AND THEN REPLY THAT TO IT.
AND THEN ALSO FOR ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE FILM PROJECT IS A, LIKE, WHAT WAS IT, LIKE A 20 MINUTE VIDEO THAT WE HAD? HOW LONG WAS IT? IT WAS ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF, UH, OF LIKE, UH, SOME OF OUR MEMBERS AND THEN JUST MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY BELONG TO GARLAND.
UM, I BELIEVE I DOWNLOADED THAT, BUT I ALSO NOT SURE, DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE DOWNLOADED VERSION THAT CAN RESEND IT TO ME SO I CAN SEND IT OUT? LET ME SEE WHAT I
[00:05:01]
CAN DO.DID YOU ALL SEE THE VIDEO? YEAH, I SAW IT.
DID YOU SEE THE VIDEO? I SAW THE VIDEO, BUT IT WASN'T THAT LONG.
IT WAS, I DON'T THINK IT WAS 20 MINUTES.
NO, IT LONG, A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
I WAS GONNA SAY WHAT I SAW WAS LONGER THAN TWO MINUTES.
I, I KNOW THAT I DOWNLOADED, I THINK I DOWNLOADED ON MY WORK COMPUTER AND NOT ON MY HOME COMPUTER.
BUT IF WE CAN GET THAT BACK, I CAN INCLUDE THAT IN THE EMAIL JUST FOR REFERENCE, BUT OKAY.
I, I WILL REVIEW UHHUH TO SEE IF I STILL HAVE IT.
IF NOT, THEN I WILL GO BACK TO MY STATION AND ASK MY TECHNICAL STAFF TO DO IT.
BECAUSE NORMALLY I DON'T DO THOSE STUFF.
SO I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO AND I EMAIL YOU DIRECTLY.
ONCE YOU SAW IT OR SOMETHING, YOU COULDN'T GET IT BACK AGAIN CUZ I, I FORWARDED IT TO MY SISTER-IN-LAW, BUT SHE'S IN SAN ANTONIO AND SHE SAID I'LL, I'LL MAKE YOU A COPY OF IT SO YOU CAN HAVE THE, SHE'S SAN ANTONIO, SO YOU, I THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD IT.
YEAH, IT'S A WE TRANSFER LINK IT.
YEAH, IT WAS A, WE TRANSFER LINK, SO WE TRANSFER JUST DO LIKE, GIVES LIKE, LIKE BIGGER CONTENT MM-HMM.
SO THAT, UM, EXPIRES OVER TIME.
SO YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT HAD HAPPENED.
I THINK MINE EXPIRED ALREADY ANYMORE.
I CAN CONTACT MINDY TO YOU IF WE NEED TO.
I'LL CONTACT MINDY AND ASK BECAUSE THEY WILL PUT THAT AS AN ACTION FOR YOU TOO AS MS. WE, UH, MS. JENNIFER.
YOU'LL LOOK FORWARD TO JUST IN CASE SHE CAN'T THAT WAY I'LL CROSS MY NOTE, BUT I CAN READ REDO
THAT WAY WE NOW KNOW THAT IF SHE CAN'T SOMETHING HAPPEN, WE KNOW WHETHER WE WILL OR WON'T HAVE ACCESS TO IT.
I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO SO.
AND MS. JUSTINA, YOU'RE GONNA SEND US AN EMAIL? YEAH, I'LL PROBABLY AND START THE CONVERSATION.
SO THE NEXT THING ON THE ITEM, UH, ON THE AGENDA IS THE ANNUAL RETREAT.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT JULY 29TH.
UH, RETREATS A PLAN FOR, FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.
WE ARE WELL BEHIND ON THE RETREAT.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IT IN FEBRUARY.
SCHEDULES CONFLICT, THE INTEREST.
SO RIGHT NOW, I GUESS WE'RE LOOKING AT JULY 29TH.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT? I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.
I THINK THAT WE ARE ALREADY MORE THAN HALF YEAR ALREADY.
HOW ABOUT TEAM BUILDING OR SOMETHING? WE CAN CUT.
IT'S TIME FOR US TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER.
AND THEN SHARE YOUR IDEAS, YOUR VISION FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
WELL, ONE THING I THINK TOO, ONCE WE SCHEDULE IT, WE NEED TO MAYBE STICK WITH THAT NEXT DATE.
CUZ THERE'S, EVERY TIME SOMETHING COMES UP, SOMEBODY SAY, WELL, WHY CAN'T MAKE IT THAT DAY? THEN WE CHANGE EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, WE STILL NEED TO HAVE THAT DAY.
IT'S PROBABLY EVERY RETREAT I'VE BEEN TO MOST THERE'S BEEN ONE OR TWO ABSENT.
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT'S OKAY.
I AGREE THAT WE SHOULD MOVE ON IF SOMEONE CANNOT BE THERE.
BUT IF CHAIR BANKS CANNOT BE THERE, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD MOVE ON WITHOUT CHAIR BANKS.
I, I WILL SAY, I THINK THAT IT MIGHT BE, AND I WON'T MAKE A MOTION YET, BUT I JUST WANT YOUR IDEAS.
IF WE HAD A SET DATE FOR THE RETREAT EVERY YEAR FOR LIKE, JUST THE CMC IN GENERAL, HEY THE CMC ALWAYS MEETS ON THIS TIME, THEN THAT MIGHT BE BETTER FOR THE LONG RUN.
AND THEN IF THIS WORKS OUT AS A TEAM BUILDING THING, WE COULD, YOU KNOW, WE COULD ADD THAT IN THE SUMMER IF NE NECESSARY FOR LIKE YEARS TO COME OR WHATEVER.
BUT I DO THINK THAT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, FOR US TO HAVE A RETREAT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR SHOULD BE A SET DATE.
WE NEED TO KEEP THAT TRADITION.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE BEEN SERVING FOR HOW MANY YEARS NOW? I'M A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN YOU.
WE ALWAYS KEEP OUR TRADITION FIRST OF THE YEAR.
UH, THE MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY PARADE ALWAYS PUSHES US, USUALLY TO THE, EITHER THE VERY END OF JANUARY OR THE VERY 1ST OF FEBRUARY.
IN THE PAST AND IT THIS SUMMER RETREAT OR RE REVISIT OR TEAM BUILD, TEAM BUILD TEAM BUILD WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO DISCUSS, PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA AND SAY, OKAY, LET'S LOOK NOW AND AND SET IT NOW.
CLEAR IT WITH THE CITY STAFF AND,
[00:10:01]
AND THEN COMMIT CUZ YEAH.I MEANT, I, I WORK, I CONSULT WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT, OH MY GOSH, THEY CHANGE EVERY DATE.
AND IT MAKES ME CRAZY CUZ WHEN I WAS IN RICHARDSON, WE SET SOMETHING AND THE WORLD COULD END AND SOMEONE WOULD STILL BE AT THAT MEETING.
I MEAN WE, WHEN WE SET IT, BOY, I MEAN SCHOOL BOARD SUPERINTENDENT, NO ONE STEPPED ON IT.
AND UH, WE JUST NEED TO DO THAT.
YEAH, TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT.
BUT THAT'D BE GOOD FOR THE AGENDA.
WE CAN LOOK AT THE MISSION STATEMENT, WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AND DOING THAT.
WE CAN HAVE SOME FUN, GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND DEFINITELY, UH, I KNOW A LOT OF THE DATES OR THE DATE WAS MOVED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THE PARTICULAR SPEAKER THAT WE CHOSE.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO CONSIDER TOO, IN TRYING TO SET A DATE TO TRY TO GET ON SOMEONE'S SCHEDULE EARLY.
AND IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO GET ON THAT PERSON'S SCHEDULE, THEN WE NEED TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE BACKUP.
SO IS THE GARLAND MANAGER NOT GONNA BE THERE ANYMORE? UM, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DON'T KNOW AT THIS POINT IF SHE'S BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM ANYONE YET.
BUT THE NEXT DATE THAT WAS ON THE SCHEDULE WAS FOR UM, JULY 9TH.
BUT THE MANAGER WAS THE PROBLEM.
REALLY
SO, UM, DO WE NEED, UM, A MOTION JUST DO WE JUST ADD IT TO THE AGENDA JUST TO ADD IT TO THE AGENDA? YEAH.
YOU WANNA DO IT? YOU WANT ME TO DO IT?
IS THAT, IS THAT OKAY? OKAY, GREAT.
SO THE NEXT THING THAT'S ON THE LIST IS THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.
UM, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN UPDATE ON DISCUSSION WITH THE CULTURAL ARTS DEPARTMENT TO PARTNER ON AN EVENT.
UM, I CAN GET AN UPDATE BY NEXT WEEK PROBABLY.
YOU WANNA MAKE THAT PART OF THE TWO FOR THURSDAY NEXT WEEK? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
AND PLEASE SEND THAT IN A SEPARATE EMAIL.
UM, JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION THAT WILL TAKE PLACE THIS WEEKEND.
SO WE NEED TO CONFIRM THE VOLUNTEERS FOR THE EVENT.
UH, I WILL BE THERE FROM THE START OF THE EVENT TO THE END OF THE EVENT.
I DO LIVE ON THE SOUTH END, THE GARLAND AND I DO, UM, SERVE WITH MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE CITY.
SO I'LL BE THERE ALL WEEKEND FOR ME TO LOG MY NAME IN AT A CERTAIN TIME.
UH, I DIDN'T GO ONLINE TO DO THAT.
DID ANYONE ELSE DO THAT? NO, I, I WAS GOING TO, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS DURING THE, IT WAS DURING THE MOST OF THE DAY, LIKE LAST YEAR, RIGHT? LIKE WAS IT NOT IN LIKE THE AFTERNOON OR WAS IT ALL IN THE EVENING TIME? CAUSE ACTUALLY IT DID HAPPEN EARLIER.
BUT THIS YEAR IT'S FROM LIKE, IT SAYS ONLINE FIVE TO EIGHT.
FIVE TO 8:00 PM BUT I THINK THE VOLUNTEER ROSTER MAY BE FROM FOUR TO THREE TO NINE.
I DO, I WAS GOING TO, BUT NOW I HAVE A WEDDING THAT I HAVE TO ATTEND.
ANYONE ELSE CAN BE THERE BETWEEN THREE AND FIVE.
I'M VERY SORRY THAT I CAN'T OH NO, NO, THAT'S FINE.
UH, LIKE I SAID, I'LL, I'LL BE THERE AND IF I NEED TO BE THERE SOONER, I CAN BE THERE SOONER.
IS THERE SOMEONE IN PARTICULAR I WAS SUPPOSED TO TALK TO? NO, WE JUST HAVE A TABLE WITH THE, THE WE'RE SHARING IT WITH THE WHAT? THE VISIT GARLAND? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING? I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY'RE SHARING IT WITH THIS YEAR.
I KNOW THEY SAID THAT WE WERE SHARING.
DO YOU KNOW WHO WE'RE SHARING WITH? OKAY.
SO DO WE NEED TO, TO BE THERE TO VOLUNTEER FROM THREE TO THREE TO FIVE OR THREE AND FIVE SET UP IN TEAR DOWN? YEAH.
THREE IS SET UP I THINK NINE AND AFTER EIGHT, I THINK FIVE TO EIGHT IS MORE THAT WE HAVE TO BE FIVE TO EIGHT VOLUNTEERS IS WHAT I YEAH.
VOLUNTEER TIMES THREE TO 9:00 PM AND AS OF RIGHT NOW, NOBODY HERE WILL BE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER.
I, WELL I SIGNED UP SEVEN TO EIGHT.
WE UNDERSTAND WE CAN NOT ALL BE SOMEWHERE SOME SO MELL, MR. MELL, YOU'LL
[00:15:01]
BE THERE AND I'LL BE THERE.I THINK MADAM CHAIR WILL BE THERE TOO.
I REMEMBER HER SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
AND THEN EVEN THAT LINK THAT WAS ONLINE, UH, CAUSE I, I SENT RENEE AN EMAIL AND SHE HAD TO RESEND IT SO SOMEONE ELSE MAY HAVE SIGNED UP, BUT IT JUST, AND IT DIDN'T SHOW EVERYBODY ELSE, IT JUST LET ME SIGN UP FOR MY, OKAY.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE DID OR NOT.
WILL YOU GUYS BE STOPPING THROUGH? YOU MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BOTHER TO YOU, YOU A PLACE YOU CHECK IN OR SOMETHING? I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN GO.
I'M HAVING SOME HEALTH ISSUES AND IF IT'S HOT LIKE TODAY, THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO IT.
UM, BUT IS THERE A WAY, IS THERE SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU CHECK IN OR WHAT? I, I THINK WE JUST WENT TO THE TABLE LAST YEAR.
YOUR CONTACT ISS PARIS MM-HMM.
IS, IS WRITE THAT ON THE MEETING MEETING MINUTES FROM LAST MONTH? IT HAS THE CONTACT NAME.
UH, IT'S ON D AND I THINK LAST YEAR ALSO WHEN THEY SET UP IT WAS, I THINK IT WAS FOR US MM-HMM.
BUT THEY PRETTY MUCH HAD THE TABLE SET UP THIS TABLES AND EVERYTHING ELSE WAS SET UP.
AND IT WAS JUST THE SETUP PART WAS JUST, I THINK FOR WHAT WE HAD ON OUR TABLE AND OUR GIVE OUTS AND STUFF.
SO DO WE, UH, I GUESS WE NEED TO CHECK WITH RENEE TO SEE IF SOMEBODY WILL, DO WE HAVE TO COME AND PICK UP OUR STUFF OR WILL IT BE DROPPED OFF AT THE PARK FOR US? SHE'LL FIND OUT.
DID ANYBODY HAVE ANY, ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT? MM-HMM.
UM, I THINK ONE OF THE CONCERTS AT AUDUBON.
THEY'VE BEEN EVERY OTHER FRIDAY.
THE, I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS FOR JUNETEENTH OR NOT.
SO FOR THE, IS EVERYBODY ALL HEARTS AND MIND CLEAR ON THE JUNETEENTH? YES.
MEAM FOR THE UPCOMING EVENTS, OF COURSE.
JUNETEENTH SATURDAY, JUNE 17TH FROM FIVE TO 8:00 PM AND JUST A MENTAL NOTE FOR THOSE OF US THAT WILL WANT TO ASSIST THAT ARE ABLE TO THE UM, VOLUNTEERING IS FROM THREE TO NINE.
UM, FOR THE RONALD E. JONES BUILDING DEDICATION.
THAT WILL BE FRIDAY, JUNE 23RD AT 9:30 AM THAT WILL BE NEXT WEEK.
SO IS THERE ANYONE THAT THINK THEY MAY WANT TO GO OR CAN GO PUT ON MY CALENDAR TO TRY AND GO YEAH, I'M GONNA GO.
DO WE WANNA WEAR OUR POLOS WHEN WE GO TO THESE THINGS? I WOULD SAY YES.
THAT SOLVED MY DRESSING UP PROBLEM.
AND OF COURSE, ANYONE THAT'S ABLE TO MAKE THE EVENT, BE SURE TO GET A QUICK SELFIE SO THAT WE DO HAVE SOME, UM, PICTURES TO SAY THAT THESE ARE SOME EVENTS WE MADE IT TO.
THE NEXT THING IS THE DFW SOCCER TOURNAMENT.
THAT'S SATURDAY JULY 8TH AND SUNDAY JULY 9TH AT WINTERS PARK.
UH, MS. GENTLEMEN, DO YOU WANNA ELABORATE ON ANY OF THAT A LITTLE BIT? YEAH.
FOR THE OPENING CEREMONY ON SATURDAY, JULY THE EIGHTH, WE'LL START ABOUT SEVEN 30 IN THE MORNING AND FINISH AROUND NINE O'CLOCK LAST YEAR, I BELIEVE THE CMC LIST.
AND UM, SOME OTHER MEMBER, I THINK ONE KIMBERLY BANKS MAYBE WERE THERE WITH THE CMC TABLE.
I REMEMBER YEAH, YOU THERE WAS, THERE WAS THREE OF US AT THE TABLE.
THE BEGINNING AND THEN MANIA AND I WENT TO THE OKAY.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE COMMISSION IS IN FAVOR OF PARTICIPATING THIS YEAR OR NOT.
DO WE HAVE AT THE TABLE, DID WE HAVE ANYTHING TO LIKE PASS OUT OR YOU GIVE AWAY SOME YEAH, WE GAVE SOME, SOME STUFF AWAY, BUT I, IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, I, THEY WEREN'T REALLY INTERESTED IN, THERE WERE ONLY A FEW BOOTHS, YOU KNOW? MM-HMM.
EVEN THOUGH WE TRIED TO TALK TO 'EM, THEY, IT WAS A, THEY WENT THERE FOR, FOR THE TOURNAMENT.
THEY WENT THERE FOR THE PROGRAM, THAT KIND OF STUFF.
BUT, UH, WE COULD STILL DO IT.
SO YOU THINK MAYBE, I'M SORRY.
DO YOU THINK MAYBE WHERE THE BOOTH WAS SITTING MAY HAVE BEEN A DISTRACTION? SO, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY IF I COME IN, I'LL COME TO WATCH THE GAME AND I'M RIGHT HERE AND THE SOCCER STUFF IS HERE.
BUT IF THE BOOTHS ARE SET CLOSER TO MAYBE AN ENTRANCE.
THERE WAS ONLY LIKE FOUR BOOTHS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND WE WERE ALL TOGETHER.
[00:20:01]
ENTRANCE.SO DO YOU THINK THAT IT WOULD BE MORE BENEFICIAL IF WE WERE JUST TO LIKE SHOW UP TO BE PRESENT? YEAH.
BUT EVEN NOT EVEN HAVING A BOOTH, BUT MORE SO JUST LIKE BEING PRESENT.
JUST BE IN THERE IN OUR GEAR IN THERE TO BE RECOGNIZED.
HERE, HERE WE ARE CMC BECAUSE IT, IT WAS HOT SO EVERYBODY WANTED WATER AND THERE WAS DIFFERENT PEOPLE GIVING WATER.
AND UH, THAT CAME REALLY HANDY.
THERE WAS SOMEBODY EVEN GIVING COFFEE CUZ IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING.
SO IF WE GIVE WATER AT EVENTS, UM, HOW DO WE COME ABOUT THE WATER? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S IN OUR BUDGET OR THAT, UM, IT COULD BE, BUT BUT THIS YEAR WE ARE SET UP A DIFFERENT, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.
CAUSE LAST YEAR WE CREATE A LOT OF WASTE.
SO PEOPLE, THEY CLEAN UP PEOPLE COMING ON SATURDAY, BUT THEY REFUSE TO COME BACK ON SUNDAY.
SO WE HAVING TO PICK UP TONS OF TRASH BOTTLED WATER EVERYWHERE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT TONS AND TONS OF THEM THAT THEY REFUSED TO COME BACK.
SO THIS YEAR VISIT GARLAND AND US, WE COME UP WITH THE IDEA WITH THE BOTTLE, UH, FIVE GALLON MM-HMM.
AND THEN WE HAVE SEVERAL, LIKE 20 OR 40 VOLUNTEERS.
WE CALL IT WATER BOY AND WATER GIRL.
THEY WILL REFILL THE, UH, THE BOTTLED WATER, THE BIG TANK UHHUH.
AND THEY KEEP ON RE FURNISH OKAY.
TO ALL THE FIELDS BY A FLATBED OR A GOV CART.
SO HOPEFULLY WE HAVE EASIER ISSUE THIS YEAR.
WE SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON IT.
AND IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN INDIVIDUAL BOTTLES.
NO, WE, WE ARE GIVING OUT VISIT GALLON, GIVE OUT THE BOTTLED WATER.
SO THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO FILL UP WITH THAT WATER AND ICE.
YEAH, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.
CAN THE CMC ALSO HAVE WATER BOTTLES? SO WE CAN PASS OUT? WE CAN GET YOU SOME A SOUVENIR IF YOU SHOW UP AS A SOUVENIR.
I MEAN, LIKE, CAN WE HAVE INSTEAD OF US PASSING OUT NOT LIKE DISPOSABLE WATER BOTTLES.
SO YOU MEAN ONE THAT WOULD HAVE A, THAT WOULD REPRESENT THE CMC.
WELL WE HAVE SOMETHING ELSE FOR YOU TO DO MUCH BETTER ON THE STAGE BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE YOU DON'T WANT TO OUT.
YOU DON'T WANT, WE HAVE A SYSTEM.
WE WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOU TO BE RECOGNIZED ON STAGE.
AND YOU MAY WANNA SAY, MY NAME IS SO AND SO REPRESENTING DISTRICT SO AND SO SEVEN 30 SATURDAY MORNING.
I BETTER PUT IT UP BEFORE I FORGET IT.
AND THE CLOSING CEREMONY ON SUNDAY IS, WILL BE VERY, VERY HOT.
SO I DON'T EXPECT ANYONE OF YOU TO COME OUT THE SECOND DAY.
I HAVE TO BE THERE JUST BECAUSE, SO I RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR ALL OF US TO BE AT THE FIRST RESPONDER SOCCER TOURNAMENT THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY, JULY 15TH FOR THE OPENING CEREMONY PROGRAM.
FIRST RESPONDER SOCCER TOURNAMENT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH ASIAN AMERICAN.
WE ARE DOING IT AT OUR OWN COST TO RESPECT AND HONOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS.
SO I CAN BE AT THE EVENT ON JULY 15TH, BUT THE ONE JULY 9TH, I CAN'T.
MY FAMILY REUNION IS THAT WEEKEND.
SO I'LL BE OUT OF TOWN THAT JULY 8TH, NINTH.
BUT JULY 15TH I CAN, I'LL BE THERE.
SO ON THE 15TH, I REALLY, REALLY WISH THAT SOME OF US CAN COME AND SHOW THE SUPPORT TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS.
GARLAND VERSUS POLICE VERSUS FIRE.
AND THIS YEAR WE HAVE ROLL, WE HAVE FORWARD WORTH.
THEY CALLED IT SOMETHING ELSE.
WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT, BUT I FORGOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A, UM, MEDICAL TEAM TO COME OUT.
SO, SO THEY, THEY WILL HAVE TWO HORSES OUT THERE.
AND WE TRIED TO GET A DUNKING BOOTH SO WE CAN DUNK THE MAYOR.
YEAH, YOU WOULD'VE, THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN.
AND SHE, I, I COULDN'T HIT ANYBODY.
[00:25:01]
FINALLY I JUST WENT AND PUSHED A BUTTON AND KNOCKED DOWN.SO RIGHT NOW, JUST ME ON THE 15TH.
ANYONE ELSE? I'LL PROBABLY BE THE 15TH CAUSE I'LL BE OUT OF TOWN ALSO ON THE EIGHTH.
I'M GONNA SEE WHAT I CAN DO ON THE 15TH.
SO MERYL, JASMINE MAYBE PUT ME A MAYBE, UH, RA OH, SHOULD I TALK INTO THE MIC SO THAT YOU CAN TRANSCRIBE THIS
UH, MR. CHARLES QUESTION MARK.
THEY WERE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR US TO MM-HMM.
CAN WE GET MS. JASMINE A POLO PLEASE? UM, DO YOU HAVE A NAME TAG YET? YEAH.
WE DON'T ALWAYS LIKE, IF WE'RE IN A BOOTH, IT'S LIKE ALREADY DESIGNATED, BUT LIKE, IF WE'RE OUT AND ABOUT AND WE WANNA REPRESENT CMC.
SO I HAVEN'T DONE IT YET, BUT I WILL WHEN I GO ON
WE GAVE MS. RENEE A REALLY HARD TIME WITH COMING UP WITH A DIFFERENT DESIGN AND THE COLORS AND THE YES.
WEAR YOUR SHIRT AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN, ESPECIALLY AT EVENTS WHERE WE'RE REPRESENTING THE CMC.
UH, THE NEXT THING ON THE AGENDA IS THE UNIDOS.
IT'S AUGUST 8TH AND NOVEMBER 14TH AT 7:00 PM THE ASH LOCK ROOM AT THE GARLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT.
MS. ELVIA, THIS IS A, A VERY INFORMATIVE, IT'S MAINLY IN SPANISH, BUT THEY ALSO DO IT IN ENGLISH.
UM, THIS LAST ONE WAS REALLY GOOD CUZ IT TALKED ABOUT HOW TO GET YOUR CITIZENSHIP, YOUR PASSPORTS, YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE.
THAT BECOMES VERY BENEFICIAL TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS, BUT HAVE NEVER BECOME CITIZENS OR HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE.
AND THEN THEY, THEY HAD A SPEAKER FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ALSO TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT THEY HAVE ON COMPUTER TRAINING FOR ADULTS.
UM, SO THIS ONE I RECOMMENDED AND, AND HE'S GONNA, UH, GET HER IS, UM, SOMEBODY FROM NEW BEGINNING TO TALK ABOUT SHELTERS.
AND I, I SUGGESTED THIS BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF HISPANIC WOMEN AND YOU KNOW, MY HUSBAND IS ABUSING ME AND STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO.
SO, AND I DON'T TELL ANYBODY BECAUSE I'M AFRAID.
AND SO THIS'LL GIVE 'EM AN IDEA.
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GO AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND FOLLOWING YOU.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A HIDDEN PLACE BECAUSE IT IS HIDDEN HOMES AND, UH, THEY HAVE TWO HOMES AND, AND, UH, THEY PROVIDE EVERYTHING TILL YOU CAN GET YOURSELF STRAIGHTENED OUT AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
AND, UH, FOR MOTHER'S DAY, THE ANA'S CLUB, WHICH I'M PRESIDENT, WE DO EVERY YEAR, LITTLE BAGS FOR MOTHER'S DAY.
AND WHEN I HAD THE GIRLS WITH GHOST PROGRAMS, THEY DID THE, THE CARDS FOR MOTHER'S DAY CARDS.
THEY DID HOMEMADE CARDS AND THEN THE ANA'S CLUB WOULD DO BAGS WITH TOILETRIES FOR THEM.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THEIR KIDS CAN GET 'EM.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL.
IT'S, IT'S A REALLY NEAT PROGRAM AND IT'S VERY TOUCHING.
SO I WAS ENCOURAGING, UH, FEDERAL TO GET, YOU KNOW, THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD HELP THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY.
ANYBODY, CUZ EVEN ANGLOS, YOU KNOW, OR WHATEVER NATIONAL AND THE COMMUNITIES CAN USE IT.
YOU WANT, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS THAT HELP.
AND WHAT NIGHT OF THE WEEK IS THAT? DID YOU SAY IT WAS TUESDAYS? TUESDAY NIGHTS.
AND THEY MEET, THEY ONLY MEET CERTAIN TIMES A YEAR.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, MAY, AUGUST THREE OR EVERY FOUR MONTHS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I, I WILL SAY LIKE WHEN WE ATTENDED, I THINK I ATTENDED LAST YEAR.
AND SO I'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO ATTENDING EITHER AUGUST OR NOVEMBER.
THERE'S ALWAYS NOTCHES FOR FOOD.
IF YOU HAVE A WARRANT, YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T GO RIGHT.
I THINK I DON'T HAVE A WARRANT.
I'M JUST SAYING IF I WANNA PUT IT OUT TO YOU KNOW, SOMEONE, I'M LIKE, NO.
LIKE, YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO DO THAT.
SORT OF, WE DON'T ASK DON'T TELL.
IT'S, IT'S LIKE SO HE, HE'S IS HE, IS HE A POLICE CHIEF OR WAS HE LIKE, HE THE ONE THAT LEADS THE MEETINGS? I DON'T REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL ONE.
[00:30:01]
WAS POLICE CHIEF IN, UH, GRAND PRAIRIE.HE MOVED FROM HERE OVER THERE.
AND HE ACTUALLY WAS THE ONE THAT STARTED THAT PROGRAM.
SO THEN, SO EVEN THOUGH THERE'S POLICE NOW HE'S GOT IT OVER THERE TOO.
THERE'S LIKE MAYBE LIKE ONE POLICE OFFICER THAT KIND OF LEADS THE MEETING, BUT THEN THAT'S IT.
THERE'S, IT'S LAST MEETING, MEETING, THEY HAD SEVERAL POLICEMEN AND THEY WERE ALL HISPANIC AND PEDRO IS, I DON'T KNOW, PUERTO RICAN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ANYHOW.
BUT THEY ALL TALKED ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS IN SPANISH FOR THE PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, LIKE SCHOOL POLICIES AND, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
WHICH IS VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES IF YOU'RE A MINORITY, YOU'RE KIND OF AFRAID OF THE POLICE.
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, WELL, LIKE I SAY, YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW, WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS I GET WHEN I INVITE PEOPLE TO THINGS.
SO THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING I NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS GONNA BE AT THE POLICE STATION.
UM, ALSO THE LAST THING ON THERE IS THE NAACP IS THE LAST TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH.
NOW LOOKING AT THE MEETING MINUTES, I, AND I DO REVIEW THESE SOMETIMES IF IT SAYS SATURDAY JULY 8TH, THAT MAKES ME, GIVES ME A BETTER THOUGHT PROCESS OF WHEN IT'S GONNA BE.
I NOTICED FOR UNIDOS IT JUST HAS AUGUST, EIGHTH AND NOVEMBER.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE WE CAN ADJUST IT SO THAT IT'LL SAY TUESDAY, AUGUST 8TH.
SO THAT WAY WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT IT, WE KNOW WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK.
YOU KNOW YOU FREE ON TUESDAYS, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
WHERE IS IT? WE'RE STILL DOING ZOOM.
OH REALLY? SO YOU GOTTA LOG IN, GO TO THE WEBSITE AND YES.
IF, UH, YOU ALL NEED THE LINK, UM, THERE'S A ONE FOR THE GENERAL ROOM MEMBERSHIP THAT GOES OUT AND IF YOU WANT TO ATTEND IT, I CAN SEND IT.
I WILL DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET A MEMBERSHIP FOR THE NAACP AND THAT WAY YOU WILL BE ON A CONSTANT CONTACT LIST AND I WON'T HAVE TO FORWARD YOU TO MEET AND LINK.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT COULD BE A GOOD THING THAT WE ARE MEMBERS OF.
AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T BECOME A MEMBER, IT, I'VE ALWAYS GONE TO THE FORUMS AND I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD THE FORUMS. UM, BUT I HAPPENED THAT I HAD A COMPLAINT, SO I CALLED SCOTT LEMAY AND THEN HE CALLED ME BACK.
HE SAID, I, I WAS AT THE NAACP FORUM AND I SAID I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD IT.
I LIKE TO GO TO ALL THE FORUMS. RIGHT NOW WE'RE STILL WAITING TO SEE WHERE WE'RE GONNA START RECONVENING.
WE COULD NOT MEET IN PERSON FOR ANY YEAH.
UH, SPECTATOR EVENTS AS A WHOLE TO SAY WE WERE REPRESENTING THE NAACP.
BUT YES, I WILL SEND THIS OUT.
IT'S, IT'S A SHAME THAT CITY OF GARLAND AS BIG AS IT IS, THERE ISN'T A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD MEET.
THERE ISN'T, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A COMMUNITY WE USED TO MEET AT THE WOMEN'S BUILDING.
AND SO THERE ISN'T GFA REALLY, YOU KNOW, IT'S STILL GO, BUT WE DON'T MEET.
YOU CAN'T, PEOPLE SAY WE'LL RESERVE THE LIBRARY.
THEY'LL LET YOU USE IT IF IT'S AVAILABLE, BUT IF THEY NEED IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE, YOU'RE OUT.
SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN SAY RIGHT NOW THE ANA'S CLUB IS MEETING AT THE SALVATION ARMY AT NOON BECAUSE THERE'S NO NOWHERE ELSE.
DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? I HAVE FEW ITEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING IT UP TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION.
MAYBE WE CAN PUT IT AT THE NEXT AGENDA MEETING.
UH, UH, I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW OUR BUDGET REPORT AND THEN ALSO ABSENTEE.
YOU SAY REVIEW THE YEAH, THE BUDGET.
I AND THEN, UH, SECONDLY, THE BYLAWS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVE IS FIVE YEARS OLD.
IN THE PAST TWO YEARS WE DID NOT FOLLOW THE BYLAWS BECAUSE WE HAVE DECIDED TO WORK AS A TEAM.
SO MAYBE IT'S TIME THAT WE REVISIT THE BYLAWS.
IF THE BYLAW ARE SET OUT TO DO ONE THING, THE COMMISSION VOTED TO DO ANOTHER THING, THEN WE MUST REVIEW THE BYLAW.
IT EDITED TO WHERE WE SEE FIT, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE, WE DON'T WANT TO SEE TWO SET.
ANYONE CAN, IT'S A PUBLIC INFORMATION.
AND WE ARE NOT FOLLOW THE BYLAWS.
SO FIVE YEARS OLD IS TIME TO REVISIT.
[00:35:02]
BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE SUPPOSED TO PRESENT A, UH, DELIVER A PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL EVERY YEAR TO LET THEM KNOW WHERE WE ARE, WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED, WHAT CAN THEY HELP US, WHAT IS THEIR EXPECTATION.SO I WOULD LIKE TO BRING IT BACK UP TO THE BOARD, MAYBE THAT WE NEED TO START DOING THAT.
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO IT IN LIKE A PARTICULAR QUARTER OR JUST, UH, U N AT U N YEAR END.
ISN'T THAT USUALLY LIKE AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER? SEPTEMBER OR, RIGHT.
YOU, YOU CAN DO AUGUST, SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER, BUT NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER.
BUT I THINK USUALLY IT WAS LATE AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER LATE.
BUT WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING THAT FOR TWO YEARS.
OR MAYBE REVIEW THAT DURING THE BOARD MEETING.
I THINK ALL, I THINK ALL THESE THINGS WOULD BE GOOD.
UH, THAT'D BE A GOOD TIME AT THE RETREAT.
IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS.
NOW WHAT I WILL SAY IS FOR THE BYLAWS, WE HAVE TO INDIVIDUALLY READ THEM SO THAT WE CAN SPEAK INTELLIGENTLY ON WHETHER THEY DO OR DON'T WE ARE OR NOT FOLLOWING THEM.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL WE GET TO THE TEAM BILL TO, TO READ IT ON YOUR OWN.
READ IT AT HOME AND COME WITH SOME IDEAS.
CUZ IF WE GOTTA TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT, TO UNDERSTAND IT, THEN TO GIVE OUR OPINIONS, THAT'S, THAT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME.
FORGIVE ME FOR BY SAYING THIS, BUT I AM OLD-FASHIONED, OLD SCHOOL GIRL.
I ALWAYS HAD TO READ MY BYLAWS.
THAT'S HOW I OPERATE OLD SCHOOL.
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WANNA BRING TO THE BOARDS? I JUST WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE MURAL THING.
DID WE HAVE A TIME THAT WE WERE GONNA DISCUSS THAT? I'LL BRING SOME INFORMATION.
UM, THEN NO, I MAY LAST BUT NOT LESS.
I FEEL I WAS FEELING GOOD BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU GUYS LAST YEAR.
I, I BELIEVE FOR THE 20 YEAR CELEBRATION THAT WE AS THE BOARD, WE REPRESENTING OUR DISTRICT SERVING AS A PLEASURE OF OUR MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
WE SHOULD HAVE AN IDEA HOW TO REACH OUT TO OUR OWN DISTRICT, WHAT THE NEEDS ARE, HOW TO BRING THE CULTURE TOGETHER BEFORE WE APPROACH SOMEONE ELSE FOR HELP.
WE MUST COME UP WITH SOME IDEA TO HELP OURSELF COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
SOMETHING LIKE SKELETON, SOMETHING TO GO BY.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON THAT DAY? WE HOST THE, UH, 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY IS BIG, BIG SCALE.
I DON'T THINK THAT WE ABLE TO DO IT THAT TYPE OF BIG EVENT ANYMORE.
ALSO WE HOST THE BREAKFAST 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
WE USE THE BUDGET, HELP PAY FOR IT.
WE HAVE BIG BREAKFAST WITH LEADERS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, CITY LEADERS AND MUCH MORE.
UH, WE ONLY HAVE SIX MEMBER BY THAT TIME WE WERE, YEAH.
BUT WE PULLED IT THROUGH 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT WE ARE MUCH STRONGER, SMARTER.
YOU LOOKING AT AN OLD LADY WITH THREE TIMES OF CANCER ARE SPEAKING.
WE MUST PUT OUR HEAD TOGETHER, DRAW OUT, PUT DOWN YOUR IDEAS, WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY AND WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.
[00:40:01]
I PROMISE YOU, IF WE WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM, LIKE WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW, WE CAN DO IT.THIS WOULD FIT VERY THAT IDEA WELL WITH UH, LOOKING AT THE MISSION STATEMENT AND DECIDING WHAT IT'S REALLY GONNA SAY BECAUSE PUTTING IT INTO EVERYDAY WORDS SHOULD EMBRACE THAT RIGHT THERE.
DO OR DIE DAY, WE'RE GONNA BE HERE ALL DAY.
WHETHER WE HAVE A SPEAKER OR NOT.
WELL IT SOUNDS LIKE WE DON'T NEED TO SPEAKER OTHER THAN SOMEBODY.
AND UH, JUST GONNA HAVE TO BE GOOD AT TIME MANAGEMENT.
DID WE MAKE A MOTION FOR NOT HAVING A SPEAKER AT THE, THE BUILDING? WELL YOU MIGHT TALK WITH MS. BANKS.
CUZ WE WOULDN'T WANT TO CANCEL.
THE CITY MANAGER, IF SHE HAS NOT GOTTEN A PERSON, IT MIGHT BE OKAY.
AND HOW MUCH TIME WERE WE, UM, SUGGESTING THAT THE RETREAT IS NINE TO NOON OR ONE IS LATEST? YEAH.
ONCE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU, ONCE I GET UP ON SATURDAY MORNING, I'M GOOD FOR WHENEVER.
SO THE GETTING UP THE GET IS HARD.
A WEEK OR SO AGO, I WAS AT SOME MEETINGS EARLY, HAD TO BE THERE AT SEVEN 30 AND I WENT, OH MY GOSH.
THREE DAYS IN A ROW, YOU'RE KILLING ME.
AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE, I DON'T GET UP.
AND LEAVE THE HOUSE THAT EARLY.
I COULD PROBABLY LEAVE THE HOUSE.
MY HUSBAND WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT.
DOES ANYONE, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY'D LIKE TO BRING TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION? NO.
MS. JENNIFER, THANK YOU EVERYBODY.
UM, LIKE I SAID, CHAIRING, VICE CHAIRING, THIS IS NEW FOR ME.
SOMEBODY KIND OF SIT BACK, YOU TELL ME TO SHOW UP, YOU KNOW, I'LL BE THE BEST VOLUNTEER EVER.
DON'T MAKE ME SIGN UP, BUT SHOW, TELL ME WHERE I NEED TO BE AND I'LL BE THERE.
SO, UM, THIS IS NEW FOR ME AND I APPRECIATE THE ASSISTANCE YOU GUYS HAVE GIVEN ME TODAY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS JULY 29TH.
WE GONNA DO THIS AND EVERYBODY PLEASE COME, COME WITH AN IDEA AND LET'S NOT USE BROAD STATEMENTS.
I AM NOT SAYING THAT I'M INCAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING ANY OF THIS.
I'M MORE THAN CAPABLE OF IT, BUT I LIKE TO SPEAK IN A TERM THAT EVERYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT IN THE SIM SIMPLEST FORMAT POSSIBLE.
UM, THERE'S AN ACRONYM THAT I LIKE TO LIVE BY AND MOST SOMEBODY ELSE HAS PROBABLY HEARD THAT IT'S CALLED KISS.
AND THAT WAY YOU'LL HAVE MORE PEOPLE.
IF YOU SEE, SOMETIMES I SEE THINGS AND IT'S, IT'S A DETERRENT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE THAT'S, I I HAVE NO CLUE.
MAYBE I DONE JUST GAVE MY LEFT KIDNEY AWAY AND DON'T KNOW IT.
BUT IF WE KEEP IT SIMPLE AND SHORT, KEEP IT SIMPLE AND SHORT.
YOU HAVE YOUR, OH, SO YOUR SHORT IS OH,
YOU HAVE YOUR, YOU HAVE YOUR VISION AND THEN YOUR MISSION SHOULD BE HOW YOU'RE GOING TO ACHIEVE YOUR MM-HMM.
RENEE RESPONDED, UM, FOR JUNETEENTH, SHE WILL BE BRINGING THE CMC ITEMS TO YOU ALL AND SHE IS UNSURE AS TO WHO, UH, WHICH TABLE YOU'RE GONNA BE SHARING.
DID SHE, DID SHE SAY, WHAT TIME DID SHE SAY WE NEEDED TO BE THERE AT THREE FOR THE SETUP TO RECEIVE THE ITEMS? SHE DID NOT RESPOND TO THAT.
PROBABLY, I WOULD THINK 4, 4 30 WOULD BE EARLY ENOUGH.
LIKE I SAID, IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
CUZ THREE IS PROBABLY, YOU'RE SETTING IT, YOU'RE TRULY SETTING UP THE WHOLE THING.
THAT MEANS I GET TO PLAY SOME OF THE GAMES BEFORE THE PEOPLE GET THERE.
HEY, Y'ALL HAVE TO PLAY THE ARROW ONE.
YOU GOT THERE ARROW? YEAH, IT'S A LITTLE ARROW.
YOU, YOU PULL BACK AND YOU SHOOT THE LITTLE FLOATY BALLS.
AND I'M SURE IT'S PROBABLY FOR THE KIDS, BUT IT'S FUN.
OUR OLDER PEOPLE, UH, YEAH, I'M OLDER PEOPLE.
YEAH, YOU ARE NOT OLDER PEOPLE ALSO.
