BACKGROUND
On February 1, 2005, the City Council adopted Resolution 72517 which requires Councilmembers to submit a memorandum to the Rules Committee regarding proposed City Council sponsored Special Events and the proposed use of any funds.
Mother’s Day Celebration was hosted on May 11th, 2022, at Mayfair Community Center and was sponsored by Councilmember Magdalena Carrasco. This special event allowed for Seniors, Senior Mothers, and various other community members to socialize, participate in fun activities, and access various critical resources. Senior Mothers were given a chance to be honored as we recognized the incredible impact they’d imparted through their selflessness and love. The event was free and open to the public.
