attend but he is not feeling well today

37
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,579
so he cannot make it with us but we did

38
00:01:53,579 --> 00:01:58,020
have a very very robust turnout in

39
00:01:58,020 --> 00:01:59,579
regards to the homeless count we had

40
00:01:59,579 --> 00:02:02,880
about 40 individuals show up

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,399
um and I know last year we had our

42
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:07,799
commissioner appear on the front page of

43
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,979
the Sanger Valley Tribune we did not get

44
00:02:10,979 --> 00:02:13,500
that type of coverage this year but we

45
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,840
were out there in force we had the

46
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,480
police department we had Public Works

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,099
and non-profit agencies uh city managers

48
00:02:23,099 --> 00:02:27,000
office a Community Development and of

49
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,160
course our Recreation and Community

50
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,180
Services Department our church uh our

51
00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:37,920
faith-based uh volunteers our soccer are

52
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,920
coaches that volunteered we had a

53
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,879
numerous individuals one person we had

54
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:48,000
was from San Diego Valley Homeless

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,959
Coalition and that was a a great

56
00:02:51,959 --> 00:02:53,580
addition they were supposed to help us

57
00:02:53,580 --> 00:02:56,280
ask her but they they also were ill and

58
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,739
couldn't make it but they were out this

59
00:02:58,739 --> 00:03:02,099
year and we had Lasha something unique

60
00:03:02,099 --> 00:03:06,660
this year we utilized uh two elements to

61
00:03:06,660 --> 00:03:10,980
count we had the paper element so when

62
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:13,080
you would go out you would you would

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,180
count but as technology improves they

64
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:22,019
had a uh app that you could download on

65
00:03:22,019 --> 00:03:25,140
your cell phone uh regardless if it's

66
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:29,580
the iPhone or the Android phone and that

67
00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:33,480
seemed to work out well as as uh as well

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,340
some individuals uh were a little uh

69
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:41,640
confused and or intimidated on how that

70
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,599
was how that worked uh but we had groups

71
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:48,480
of three or four and usually one

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,299
individual within the group of three or

73
00:03:51,299 --> 00:03:55,379
four was able to utilize the app and for

74
00:03:55,379 --> 00:03:59,040
some individuals they used both uh they

75
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,700
counted on paper and they utilized the

76
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,060
app so it is too early to tell what our

77
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:09,360
homeless count is uh but from uh the

78
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,760
last few years we have been able to cut

79
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,579
it in half uh so we are hoping for uh a

80
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:21,479
very good count in regards to possibly

81
00:04:21,479 --> 00:04:24,419
lowering our account

82
00:04:24,419 --> 00:04:29,460
count I believe last year was 276. uh so

83
00:04:29,460 --> 00:04:33,479
we are hoping for a similar number or a

84
00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:37,199
little bit less uh it's uh really hard

85
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:40,259
to tell uh personally when I was out

86
00:04:40,259 --> 00:04:43,620
there counting I came across two

87
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:48,000
individuals and I guess my spot was a

88
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,880
little popular because I had Yum Yum

89
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,300
Donuts uh and there's two individuals

90
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:57,840
usually hanging out in that area and

91
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:59,880
there were other groups that had zero

92
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,520
zero zero and there was a few others

93
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,560
that counted a handful of individuals so

94
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,740
we will hopefully have the count by June

95
00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:14,880
and we will go ahead and share that with

96
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,840
the commission as well as the community

97
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,699
and we are looking forward to a uh

98
00:05:20,699 --> 00:05:24,120
hopefully a lower count nonetheless over

99
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,320
the few years with 50 beds at serenity

100
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,400
homes and 25 beds at Esperanza via we

101
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,320
have at least 75 people that are

102
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,479
unhoused but they have a roof over their

103
00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:40,440
head

104
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,220
very very proud to to say we have those

105
00:05:44,220 --> 00:05:45,740
Services

106
00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:49,380
versus a handful of years ago those did

107
00:05:49,380 --> 00:05:50,820
not exist

108
00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:53,280
I was very happy to say that any

109
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,100
questions in regards to the homeless

110
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:58,560
count we had Lasha here San Gabriel

111
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,460
Valley and sarsum and we had numerous

112
00:06:02,460 --> 00:06:07,979
numerous volunteers probably about 40 uh

113
00:06:07,979 --> 00:06:10,320
combination of Staff members and our

114
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,020
volunteers and maybe even a little bit

115
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:15,890
more

116
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:18,539
I have a question yes um so on the

117
00:06:18,539 --> 00:06:20,940
serenity uh

118
00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:24,960
I know we have 50 beds right yes yes so

119
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,479
um if those

120
00:06:27,479 --> 00:06:30,360
were out in the street last time would

121
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,520
you be counting because those those are

122
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,680
families correct yes but would you be

123
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,020
counting each individual

124
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:40,080
great great question uh that was one of

125
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,479
my questions because as we get deeper

126
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:45,300
into the homeless uh worry we are

127
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:48,479
learning as staff members as as well

128
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:52,740
using Serenity and Esperanza via as an

129
00:06:52,740 --> 00:06:56,220
example uh they are considered homeless

130
00:06:56,220 --> 00:07:00,780
but they are housed so in the past uh we

131
00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:02,880
did not we wouldn't have we would have

132
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,780
counted those individuals as homeless

133
00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:11,400
okay so uh but they are they are housed

134
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,699
at least for right right now and

135
00:07:14,699 --> 00:07:17,460
hopefully everyone will transition out

136
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:19,020
of both of those facilities facilities

137
00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:21,900
and they will find permanent housing so

138
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:24,120
we could get some other folks off the

139
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880
street because we have a waiting list on

140
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,340
both sites

141
00:07:29,340 --> 00:07:33,180
games uh depending on what day it is we

142
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:35,639
have a lot of adults and then from time

143
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:39,479
to time it's very uh

144
00:07:39,479 --> 00:07:42,740
very sad to see the families let me know

145
00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:46,020
living in the car or couch surfing or

146
00:07:46,020 --> 00:07:47,880
whatever the case is

147
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,639
but we have a waiting lists on both of

148
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:52,680
them and both of those facilities are

149
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,500
Grant funded so in order for us to

150
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:58,139
receive reimbursement we need to keep

151
00:07:58,139 --> 00:08:01,400
both of those sites at 95 percent

152
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,460
occupancy and we usually do very rare

153
00:08:05,460 --> 00:08:11,390
that we that we don't

154
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,819
anything else in regards

155
00:08:14,819 --> 00:08:17,039
um the homeless count

156
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:19,139
um I did take the um

157
00:08:19,139 --> 00:08:22,259
the video training and it was very well

158
00:08:22,259 --> 00:08:24,660
put together because my intentions were

159
00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:26,639
to go but then we had the emergency with

160
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:28,500
the Flores family so I wasn't able to

161
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,300
attend

162
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:32,700
um who who put that together was that

163
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:35,880
lhasa or was that yes the uh the actual

164
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,940
video and all the trainings are from our

165
00:08:38,940 --> 00:08:41,399
partner with lhasa okay and they they

166
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:43,860
did a wonderful job they actually sent

167
00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:47,160
out two staff members on the day of the

168
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,060
training we also had the uh another

169
00:08:50,060 --> 00:08:55,509
faith-based group there uh Sangre Valley

170
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:59,279

uh who who also assisted and uh Eureka

173
00:09:08,459 --> 00:09:11,220
Ruiz Esparza assisted with some of the

174
00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:13,980
pre-work but she was not available to

175
00:09:13,980 --> 00:09:17,399

didn't get to participate this year

187
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,920
because me and my husband were looking

188
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,019
forward to it but the day that you know

189
00:09:55,019 --> 00:09:56,580
we had a plan on that day and we're like

190
00:09:56,580 --> 00:09:58,920
we can't change that so we hope to

191
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,260
participate next year one of the

192
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:03,660
questions I did have was regarding the

193
00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:07,680
paper and app was so last year I know we

194
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,440
were sticking primarily to the app so

195
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,839
how was the paper implemented this year

196
00:10:12,839 --> 00:10:14,220
was that something that both of them

197
00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:17,160
were required to complete or how how was

198
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,660
that last year it was paper uh and City

199
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:25,680
because we've had some challenges uh in

200
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:29,180
the past with Lasha we didn't

201
00:10:29,180 --> 00:10:32,279
necessarily believe our count had

202
00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,160
doubled right one year to the next they

203
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,540
had larger count in Pasadena and

204
00:10:39,540 --> 00:10:42,720
Ramona so we we didn't feel the count

205
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,180
was was

206
00:10:44,180 --> 00:10:48,360
556 uh but nevertheless we didn't have a

207
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,660
say-so uh and uh

208
00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:55,620
without number uh but it was paper last

209
00:10:55,620 --> 00:10:59,519
year the city utilized an app or we made

210
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:03,240
an app we also counted and it was more

211
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,200
for an internal mechanism but at the end

212
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,680
of the day lasha's paper was the final

213
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:15,240
say so so we utilize it for hot spots so

214
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,279
you you must have played with the you

215
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:19,680
must utilize the app last year yeah last

216
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,959
year I I did primarily the app so that's

217
00:11:21,959 --> 00:11:23,519
why I was wondering about that because

218
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:25,260
they were giving us such full training

219
00:11:25,260 --> 00:11:28,260
on the screen using the app and so when

220
00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:29,760
you mentioned the paper I was curious

221
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,740
because I didn't see the paper so I

222
00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:34,140
wasn't sure how that what what what was

223
00:11:34,140 --> 00:11:36,300
different that's why my memory is

224
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:39,540
failing me I thought last year was uh

225
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:41,820
paper and then the city utilized the app

226
00:11:41,820 --> 00:11:44,579
but maybe I'm thinking two years ago it

227
00:11:44,579 --> 00:11:46,920
might have been maybe two years ago so

228
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,740
uh I think last year we had the option

229
00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:53,480
of the paper or or the app uh because

230
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,000
the even the app for me was a little

231
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,760
intimidating I downloaded I took the

232
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,100
training I probably spent several hours

233
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,040
because I I didn't want to make any

234
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,519
errors so I I they needed a driver so I

235
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:12,060
volunteered to to drive and we had

236
00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:13,980
another staff

237
00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:16,680
for the most part on this time around

238
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,440
most of the individuals utilizing that

239
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,760
yeah

240
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,540
cast members uh or volunteers that we

241
00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:27,000
have a very good relationship

242
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,459
about it so there was still one or the

243
00:12:29,459 --> 00:12:32,279
other yes okay

244
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:35,399
it was a good experience everyone seemed

245
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:38,880
to have a positive experience I was one

246
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,760
of the first ones back uh primarily

247
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,540
because I'm not a fast driver but my

248
00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:48,360
zone was Sarah Vista High School

249
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360
a large portion of my zone

250
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,760
was

251
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,760
we went driving through all the all the

252
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,260
crevices a lot of dead end streets a lot

253
00:13:01,260 --> 00:13:05,459
of private roads so very interesting

254
00:13:05,459 --> 00:13:08,220
I've gone out for probably over a decade

255
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:11,579
each time I drive out I find a new

256
00:13:11,579 --> 00:13:15,170
section

257
00:13:15,180 --> 00:13:18,000
pretty pretty home I was looking for

258
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,079
landscaping ideas

259
00:13:21,079 --> 00:13:24,000
it's very very nice

260
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,639
and I think last year we did also ask

261
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:29,940
about the possibility or just to

262
00:13:29,940 --> 00:13:34,860
question the possibility of moving the

263
00:13:34,860 --> 00:13:37,980
moving the count to like a later month

264
00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:40,440
so that maybe we would see more people

265
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,560
was that something that was ever that

266
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:46,260
that's something that we we mentioned

267
00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:51,000
but Lasha is uh set in firm that they

268
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,660
have it on those three or four nights of

269
00:13:54,660 --> 00:13:58,440
the week if you watch much TV it was all

270
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,560
over the news all over the radio they

271
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:03,899
were out they gave most of the attention

272
00:14:03,899 --> 00:14:07,800
to Los Angeles because of of new mayor

273
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,260
mayor bass

274
00:14:09,260 --> 00:14:12,120
and Pasadena some of the larger cities

275
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:17,040
they were out in force uh on those I

276
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,660
think it was a three night the Tuesday

277
00:14:18,660 --> 00:14:22,019
Wednesday Thursday so it was uh and then

278
00:14:22,019 --> 00:14:24,660
there's other counts that that happened

279
00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:27,600
in the riverbed during the day during

280
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,300
the day yes special teams that know how

281
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:33,600
to de-escalate uh because we are not

282
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,519
able to get out of the vehicle

283
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:38,820
you know some people are well I I want

284
00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:41,040
to go put a flash setting back no you

285
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,300
cannot

286
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:45,000
you just know the van and that's pretty

287
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,199
much it Lasha has a form a formula of

288
00:14:49,199 --> 00:14:52,260
how they create the university and then

289
00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:55,199
they they follow up with what teams and

290
00:14:55,199 --> 00:14:57,660
they'll specifically uh like I was a

291
00:14:57,660 --> 00:15:00,720
little nervous personally uh of the

292
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,959
riverbed I want to make sure that they

293
00:15:03,959 --> 00:15:07,560
are counting the people correctly but

294
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,660
they assured me you know they know the

295
00:15:09,660 --> 00:15:11,639
boundary lines if they're in a different

296
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:13,800
city if they're over this line then

297
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,839
they're not in Baldwin Park there and

298
00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:17,579
right now

299
00:15:17,579 --> 00:15:20,699
yeah if if you've ever been on the on

300
00:15:20,699 --> 00:15:22,380
the riverbed

301
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:25,320
there's a whole Community down there's

302
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,720
actually a lot of different communities

303
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,120
in different areas on the on the

304
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,300
riverbed I spoke with uh lasa they

305
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:36,600
actually rent from the church so we

306
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,220
speak to them all the time you know so

307
00:15:38,220 --> 00:15:40,500
we were talking about the how they went

308
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:42,360
out during the day to the riverbed and

309
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,440
you know

310
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,720
um the different sections that they went

311
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,459
to and

312
00:15:47,459 --> 00:15:49,980
um and yeah it is real strategic you

313
00:15:49,980 --> 00:15:51,720
know and it and it's dangerous you know

314
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,519
so

315
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:57,540

a red envelope and usually the mayor and

357
00:17:52,020 --> 00:17:54,960
whatever of the I think

358
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,390
Philadelphia

359
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,100
I don't like bait

360
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:03,720
you tease them and then they'll go ahead

361
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,460
and they right there they open the big

362
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:09,059
old mouth and it goes oh yeah

363
00:18:09,059 --> 00:18:10,799
a red envelope and they continued to

364
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:13,500
dance but this year we did have drums as

365
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:18,470

all the other dancers

367
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:25,549
it took pretty much the

368
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,500
nine o'clock and then

369
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:30,120
by the time we finished with all the

370
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:34,150

00:23:44,820 --> 00:23:47,340
on um I forgot the name of the street

471
00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:49,919
well with the YWCA they don't just have

472
00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:51,059
to be

473
00:23:51,059 --> 00:23:52,679
oh okay

474
00:23:52,679 --> 00:23:56,690

00:23:56,700 --> 00:24:00,480
sure okay very good all right we're also

476
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,039
gonna know we had some interests that

477
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:03,659
were asking us to do like chair

478
00:24:03,659 --> 00:24:06,000
volleyball

479
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,260
team

480
00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:10,549
all right we want to go ahead and

481
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:13,200
we're interested and uh yeah we have a

482
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,529
pretty

483
00:24:15,539 --> 00:24:18,179
very soon

484
00:24:18,179 --> 00:24:21,780
hear me up let's do this

485
00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:25,020
exciting that sounds really exciting I

486
00:24:25,020 --> 00:24:26,760
just have one little concern with that

487
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,460
and the stability of the chair

488
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:31,500
because of the seniors you know we don't

489
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:32,760
want one of them

490
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,760
falling over and so it probably would

491
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,000
need to be more of those sturdy or are

492
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,210
all the ones in the dining room yeah

493
00:24:43,220 --> 00:24:46,380
yeah exactly oh that sounds so good how

494
00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:47,820
about the other cities like irwindale's

495
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:48,960
doing

496
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,880
uh we have reached out to see oh nice

497
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,450
sure that we're yeah very good

498
00:24:58,460 --> 00:25:00,659
well that's good

499
00:25:00,659 --> 00:25:02,940
I had a question regarding the Lunar New

500
00:25:02,940 --> 00:25:05,880
Year celebration what day was that on

501
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,159
was that on a weekend day or a weekday

502
00:25:08,159 --> 00:25:10,820
it was on a week that week that day

503
00:25:10,820 --> 00:25:14,460
January the 9th and I got it okay

504
00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:17,340
um I was curious to know if it's some

505
00:25:17,340 --> 00:25:19,440
type of event that I don't know like

506
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,020
Youth and teens within the community

507
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:25,260
would be interested in participating in

508
00:25:25,260 --> 00:25:28,559
um to make it more I guess inclusive of

509
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:30,480
all ages too because it would be really

510
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,840
cool to see exactly because it is kind

511
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,179
of like honoring the seniors as well so

512
00:25:36,179 --> 00:25:37,799
it would kind of give them like a space

513
00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:40,200
to maybe learn up something from the

514
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,120
seniors and like their experience in the

515
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:45,059
culture and the the youth learning and

516
00:25:45,059 --> 00:25:48,240
kind of like sharing in that you know

517
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,940
um experience with with the seniors so

518
00:25:50,940 --> 00:25:52,500
something I was just thinking about

519
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:55,140
because as someone who does celebrate

520
00:25:55,140 --> 00:25:57,360
Lunar New Year it's really about like

521
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,700
respecting the elders and giving your

522
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:01,380
wishes to the elders and the elders

523
00:26:01,380 --> 00:26:03,779
giving you wishes here's to them and so

524
00:26:03,779 --> 00:26:06,360
I feel like it could really be an

525
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,880
awesome like wide range Community event

526
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,940
and like the youth can also youth that

527
00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:14,700
are not part of the culture can also

528
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:18,360
learn about it and see how valuable it

529
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:22,440
is to gain wisdom and you know like uh

530
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,840
I don't know how to say like yeah learn

531
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,059
the culture and like support and you

532
00:26:27,059 --> 00:26:31,020
know um like learn from your elders and

533
00:26:31,020 --> 00:26:32,880
have that day be like learning about

534
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,000
your community and your family and

535
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,870
respecting elders and stuff

536
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,880
that because of the

537
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,010
right questions

538
00:26:46,020 --> 00:26:48,600
I'm sure that in the future like for

539
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,010
probably

540
00:26:52,020 --> 00:26:53,760
that was a possibility we were thinking

541
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,110
about moving it that way

542
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,760
yeah I went to other communities in

543
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,600
Orange County and they do like huge

544
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,880
festivals outside right so it would be

545
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,200
really interesting to see if we had

546
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,539
something like outdoors and I don't know

547
00:27:09,539 --> 00:27:11,279
if firecrackers are allowed but like

548
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:13,679
those the ones that are reasonable to

549
00:27:13,679 --> 00:27:15,900
add that and just make it something fun

550
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:17,940
or with little Fair things too that

551
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:19,080
would be

552
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,940
um another event that community members

553
00:27:20,940 --> 00:27:23,640
can participate in

554
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,320
about it as well baby

555
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,450
right

556
00:27:29,460 --> 00:27:32,039
but yes absolutely

557
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:34,620
Amphitheater will probably be the best I

558
00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:36,059
always know

559
00:27:36,059 --> 00:27:43,970
right yeah thank you thank you Irma

560
00:27:43,980 --> 00:27:46,919

00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:52,440
and uh Madam chair the last item on the

563
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,340
agenda is the annual calendar so if

564
00:27:56,340 --> 00:27:58,559
you'd like to take a look at that

565
00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:01,320
um we are uh working out some details

566
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,419
towards the end of the year in December

567
00:28:03,419 --> 00:28:07,020
it looks like the parade will stay on

568
00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:09,480
the first Saturday in December who will

569
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,419
most likely be adding snow or chipped

570
00:28:12,419 --> 00:28:15,240
ice to that Saturday we were thinking

571
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,460
about having that the parade in the

572
00:28:17,460 --> 00:28:19,500
evening but it just doesn't look like we

573
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:22,440
have an opportunity yet added to the

574
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,220
evening so we will proceed with the am

575
00:28:25,220 --> 00:28:28,799
uh parade and I think that's that's

576
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:31,679
