OPINION&LETTERS Page A4 • August 27, 2015 • Inland Empire Community Newspapers

Opinions are good, but action is better

I

By Anthony Victoria

understand the outcry of residents that view San Bernardino City’s Code Enforcement’s recent removal of illegal vendors as unfair and unjust.

After all, these people are merely trying to make a living with what little opportunity they receive.

Supporters of the agency’s actions argue that these vendors are taking advantage of the system by not paying for sales permits or vending licenses, while avoiding paying taxes. The opposing side fervently emphasizes the necessity of these predominately Latino vendors to make an honest decent living.

Quite frankly, I was glad there was an outpour of debate and opinion on the matter---that is, until I browsed on social media and saw some of the reactions from some of our younger residents.

Twitter user @flowerxmouth tweeted the following: “You guys have NOTHING better to do than shut down someone who's just trying to work? Like I don’t know solving REAL crimes?”

Resident Jason Gomez posted the following on Facebook: “Some *expletive* up *expletive* that I seen like 20 mins ago. The city took this hard working man just trying to make some money for his family fruit away. Why can't they just let him be or tell him to go home or something instead of taking his stuff away? San Bernardino is so *expletive* up. There are other bad situations going on in the city and they decide to do this.”

While the posts aren’t hysterical in nature, as some of the others I came across, they are rooted on emotional responses to a problem that requires intense constructive debate and formulations to solutions. Which comes to my next point: Why are these young people not attending city council meetings? Most importantly: Have these individuals approached community organizations to inquire on what they could do to solve the problem?

My guess is no.

And while I understand that not all residents have the luxury of investing large amounts of their time keeping up to date with the tumultuous politics of San Bernardino, it does not defeat the notion that they can become more involved in their community.

Bluntly put, the majority of younger residents complain about the plight of the city but do little to invest back. They don’t walk the walk.

Opinions are good, but action is better. Why you may ask?

Because taking action does not necessarily mean you need to become a Saul Alinsky, Fred Ross, or Martin Luther King, Jr. to contribute to lasting change. There are numerous productive ways people can do to impact the community, without committing too much or too little.

One can make phone calls or office visits to elected representatives to voice their opinions on issues that are affecting their livelihood, attend city wide San Bernardino Police Department community forums to provide input, or take large scale approaches like canvassing the streets to speak to residents and organize groups to rally around vital community issues.

To keep on track with the Illegal Street Vending situation, several local groups such as the Inland Congregations United for Change (ICUC), the city’s Hispanic Advisory Council, and the Justice for Immigrants Coalition of Southern California (JFIC) are holding meetings to further investigate what is taking place by speaking to vendors that are affected and holding meetings with law enforcement to address their concerns with the issue.

All are actively seeking further community input and involvement.

With the right attitude and commitment from all sectors of the community, the vendor issue can be resolved effectively. It will take time, there will be frustration, and there will be fierce debates. Nevertheless, I believe with the right attitude and approach from the common folk, a proper solution can benefit both sides. Advocacy, Determination, and Education are the words that come to mind when speaking of economic, political, and social change.

The aura of Democracy allows us to weigh on what we believe is the best solution to critical problems.

However, that process is futile if apathy, ignorance and miscommunication are rampant. The ranters on social media need to understand that nothing ever gets done by standing back, tweeting about “How *expletive* San Bernardino’s leadership is.

My challenge to my generation is: What are we doing to ensure we become those next leaders to thrust the city into progress?

I think it’s time for us to answer the call.

I watched a Youtube video of Congressman Pete Aguilar saying he wasn’t concerned about Planned Parenthood selling baby body parts nationally. He went on to say the local Planned Parenthood chapter told him they do not do sell body parts.

In reference to the role of Medicare and Medicaid, letter writer Mike McCarthy left out one very important role — the one Medicare and Medicaid played in the medical industry. These two programs enabled the charges for medical treatment in doctor’s offices and the hospitals to rise beyond the affordability of the common people. I was there.

Immediately after these two programs went into effect in 1965, charges for medical care began to increase, and those increases have not stopped. Part of the increased

The latest government program, the Affordable Care Act, provides another financial pool to encourage the medical industry to increase charges. These two programs have hurt, rather than helped the medical care for all of the people.

In 1965, the charge for a semi-private room in most hospitals was about $32 per day and office calls for doctors was about $8. The present extremely high charges do not compare with the adjusted inflation rate. The exorbitant charges would be impossible without the government subsidies of Medicare and Medicaid.

Words to Think About: Cultural Habits

I

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

have visited 75 plus countries, spending considerable time in many of them. Outside of the United States, I think New Zealand and Turkey to be the most interesting.

In this article I will share my impressions of the strange cultural habits that I experienced in several countries. For example, most of us

eat soup with a spoon. In most Asian countries, the people drink their soup, grasping the bowl with both hands. Frankly, I tried it and like it.

When I was in Hong Kong and China, I visited several McDonalds. To my amazement, I was not given French fries with my Big Mac but rice. One or two McDonald’s did serve French fries, if asked for. Since I don’t care for rice, I was grateful for the fries.

Most of the trains I’ve ridden in the U.S. or Mexico seldom leave on time. Sometimes as much as an hour late. Not so in Japan or Europe. They wait for no one. The doors close tight at the time scheduled.

I remember when I was in a train from Mexicali, Mexico to Guadalajara. It was so slow a lady, obviously pregnant got off and demanded a taxi. “I’m pregnant.”

The conductor harshly told her she should not have gotten on the train in her condition. She responded with temper, “I wasn’t pregnant

when I got on.” It’s a joke.

Alaska is the largest state in the U.S. yet only Montana has fewer people in it. While Utah has the most bankruptcies, Alaska has the fewest.

Alaskans have a most unique way of keeping meats frozen. They find a tall tree, trim the lower branches and build a platform at the top. They construct a large box on the platform and place their meat in it.

Cross bars are strategically placed to climb and get their meat.

Black bears are unable to climb the pole.

Italy has more old churches, statues, ancient civic buildings, and museums than most other countries.

The national food? Obviously pasta and spaghetti.

I love their food but two habits were hard for me to take. First, they have very little sauce on their pasta. Second, the salad is served at the end of the meal, not before the main course.

I’ve been to Israel eight times.

Every time it was exciting and informative. I’ve stayed in a “kibbutz” several times. Usually each one has a specialty: growing bananas, or roses or avocados, etc.

They often ship them to Europe.

On one trip I bought 25 wooden plaques with “Shalom” on them.

Back at my room I looked closer at them and on the back were the words, “Made in Taiwan.”

Portugal is a small but interesting country. It grows and sells 95 percent of the world’s cork. They carve sheets of it from cork trees.

The other five percent is from Spain.

Peru has an illustrious history.

For centuries it was the center of the Inca empire. Most people have heard of Machu Pichu, at one time the jewel of the Incas.

The nearest city is Cusco, 11,000 feet high in the Andes. National food, comfort food, and most plentiful vegetable is the potato.

Cooked every way possible and at times 2 or 3 ways in a meal.

Baked, boiled, mashed, fried, raw, mixed. I ate them all.

The most international food is spaghetti. I’ve found it in every country; form Italy to Japan.

Especially in Argentina, where about 90 percent of the population is Italian in heritage. Including the present Pope. I found that about every other restaurant was featuring Italian food-spaghetti.

I think I tried them all. Everyone was flavored differently, including the meat balls. It is still my favorite food.

There are two memories I have of Warsaw, Poland. The first the memorial that was built in honor of the citizens that fought so valiantly against the Nazis in World War II. They fought to the bitter end.

The second was the longest and best food buffet I’ve ever seen and ever shared in. It was at the Sheraton Hotel.

I’ve shared these thoughts to give a small insight into a few of the countries I’ve visited.

Amen. Selah. So be it.

SCE Rewards Customers Join Senior Center for With Home Energy Efficiency walking tour of Rebates, Incentives

A

s hot temperatures and summer continue, Southern California Edison (SCE) reminds customers it offers a variety of energy-efficiency programs that reward customers with rebates, bill credits and other incentives designed to help reduce energy and lower electricity bills.

“There are so many ways to stay cool and comfortable this summer — while keeping electricity costs in check,” said Mark Wallenrod, SCE’s director of Demand Side Management Program Operations. “Now more than ever, people are interested in saving money and helping the environment. We’re proud to be able to help our customers do that.”

For example, customers with a swimming pool at their singlefamily residence may qualify for a $200 rebate if they replace a single-speed or two-speed pool pump with a qualified Variable Speed Pool Pump and Motor model. The difference could save up to 60 percent of a pool’s energy consumption and maximize savings.

Through SCE’s Refrigerator and Freezer Recycling Program, customers with an old, inefficient working refrigerator or freezer can receive a $50 incentive by disposing of their aging appliance in an environmentally responsible way. SCE will pick it up free of charge and dismantle it using Responsible Appliance Disposal standards. By disposing of a spare unit, customers could save up to $180* a year in electricity costs.

ARMC Foundation Announces Honorees for Fall Gala

T

he Arrowhead Regional Medical Center Foundation will recognize four honorees at its 2015 Autumn Extravaganza Gala and Awards Dinner on Oct. 8. Proceeds from the event, which will be held at the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino, will benefit Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s cancer program.

The award winners for the second annual gala are: Guillermo Valenzuela, MD, Arrowhead Vanguard of the Year; David Lanum, MD, Physician of the Year; Nanette Buenavidez, RN, Nurse Leader of the Year; and Ma Cristina Avendano, RN, Nurse of the Year.

“Our physicians and nurses are on the forefront of ARMC’s ef-

forts to provide quality health care to the community,” said Zachary Tucker, ARMC Foundation president. “These honorees stand out for their exceptional efforts on behalf of the medical center.”

Award winners will be recognized at the Gala with a unique video tribute and a distinctive plaque.

The Gala will feature jazz music from “The Art of Sax,” an auction, dinner and no-host cocktails.

Black tie is optional.

Tickets are $125 per person. For more information about the ARMC Foundation Gala and Awards Dinner, call Patty Holohan, 909-580-3167, or email HolohanP@armc.sbcounty.gov.

camole, pit bbq plate, Italian sausages, tostadas, hot dogs, raspados (snow cones), beer garden and homemade tamales, which is the most requested item of the day”, said Henrietta Chavez, Fiesta Chair.

The tamales are prepared by the Prayer Group and features what most people believe is an awardwinning recipe of tender pork in a delicious red sauce with whole black olives wrapped to perfection in a corn husk. They are served piping hot and, in the past, is the first food item to sell out.

The raspados (snow cones) are another favorite since Mrs. Aurora Delgado, who has sponsored that booth for well over 50 years, personally prepares the different flavored syrups.

Cascarones (brightly colored, confetti-filled eggshells) are pre-

pared by the young children with the help of their mothers and grandmothers. The parishioners provide eggshells and cut colorful tissue paper into small pieces, which is skillfully stuffed into the shell and covered with a small paper top. “It is always a delight watching the little ones crack a cascaron on the head of a friend or grandparent.”, concluded Lupe Perez, lifelong resident of the area.

A colorful ballet folklorico performs at 3:00 p.m., a mariachi band plays at 4:30, and a live dance band concludes the festivities from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. featuring both popular English and Mexican dance music.

Call Mrs. Chavez at 909/8625680 for more information. The fiesta is open to the public.

Job Corps holds graduation for Class of 2015

he places youth can go when provided opportunities at their doorstep is the key to building the narrative for the Inland region’s future, according to Congressman Pete Aguilar (D-Rancho Cucamonga).

“Congratulations graduates. This has not been an easy journey, so

enjoy it,” Aguilar told approximately 100 students at the Inland Empire Job Corps’ commencement ceremony on Thursday August 20. “This is your foundation.

This is what you need in order to succeed. This is the type of commitment that builds our story for future generations.”

With over 126 centers throughout the United States, the IE Job Corps’ students were only a few of

thousands of students who took part in the day’s festivities.

The college-like, 17.5-acre site was opened in 1978 and houses over 300 students ages 16-12. Students receive training in carpentry, culinary arts, electrical, medical administrative assistant, office administration, ornamental landscaping, painting, plumbing and tile setting. The campus has dormitories, a library, computer labs, a swimming pool and a wellness center for basic medical needs. It provides free educational and vocational training for income-eligible young people.

Besides Aguilar, the event’s keynote speaker, San Bernardino City Mayor Carey Davis and Assemblymember Marc Steinorth (R-Rancho Cucamonga) were present to display their support.

Many of the graduates hail from low-economic and working class backgrounds. One student, Keanu Guerrero, 23, of Apple Valley said he chose to attend Job Corps because of his aunt’s previous experience as a student in the 1970s.

“The most rewarding part about being attending Job Corps was the experiences I shared with friends, as well as the skills I developed to become an electrician,” he said.

Guerrero will be working for the National Core Renaissance Community (National CORE), where

he intends to apply his skill set.

One other student, Derean Womack of Perris, recalls struggling to find a place to live before being informed by a friend to enroll in Job Corps.

“I knew it would be a good thing for me,” he said. “So I enrolled.”

A year later, Womack is now CPR, OSHA, and HBI certified. In addition he has certification in OPAC’s meaning typing, Microsoft Office programs, and fil-

ing. His future plans include pursuing his Associate of Science degree in Electrical Power Technology and transferring to UC Riverside to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering “Everyone knows each other here,” he said. “It’s been like a family since we all live together.”

Jalesha Love to carry Mr. Tetlock's volleyball knowledge to Cal State Dominguez Hills

C

By Harvey M. Kahn

al State Dominguez Hills-bound Jalesha Love relied on lessons learned from her Golden Valley Middle School volleyball coach Charles Tetlock to help create her favorite memory at Pacific High School. When Love was an eighth grader, Tetlock taught her how to block and score in volleyball. Despite having the talent to start as a freshman at Pacific, it wasn't going to be so easy until she was accepted by the older junior's and senior's on Pacific's

volleyball team.

"It is my best memory of high school. To make the varsity volleyball team as a freshman and finally be accepted by the team," recalled Love, who went on to become a two-time all-league first team performer, two-time team MVP, team scoring leader three years and three years team captain. Those accomplishments and high IQ, coupled with Love being a four-year varsity member of Pacific's basketball team, earned her the prestigious Ken Hubbs Award nomination as Pacific's female athlete of 2015.

Love's 3.87 GPA earned her inclusion on at least one of Pacific's honor roll categories in her four years of high school. She made the Principal's Honor Roll all four years, graduating at a class rank of 27 out of 373 seniors. She has already begun class work at Cal State Dominguez Hills on full academic scholarship and plans to earn her credential as a kindergarten teacher. She plans to tryout for the Dominquez Hills volleyball team but would have to redshirt this season.

Love said another point she remembers about Pacific is the help she received from the teaching staff. "I really thought it was something that teachers would help you even if you were not in their class. It was important that you first showed them you cared." She added that her goal to play high school sports pushed her to get good grades since you must have good grades to participate.

Photo courtesy carmel Brand Jalesha Love (Right) made varsity in volleyball, basketball and softball as a freshman at Pacific high School.

She said her friends all played sports as well and that helped.

When asked for advice, Love replied, "Keep working hard and don't let people influence you to do negative things."

Not only did Love lead the Pacific volleyball for three years in blocks and kills, she led the Pirates basketball team three years by averaging 12 points and 11 rebounds per game. As a 9th and 10th grader, she was the starting first baseman for the softball team where she earned team MVP. An ankle injury kept her off the diamond as a junior and she didn't play softball as a senior because she wanted to expand her hours working as a courtesy

helper at Stater Bros. Markets.

Love said that although the volleyball skills learned from Mr. Tetlock came in handy, she could not repeat those same team accomplishments at Pacific that she earned at Golden Valley where Tetlock led her undefeated team to the San Bernardino City Middle School championship.

(Comments about Jalesha Love and Javin Singer from Pacific High School Athletic Director Carmel Brand: "For many years Pacific has not had many students who arrived at Pacific as freshmen and stayed through their senior year. Javin Singer and Jalesha Love, however, are two

who beat the odds and not only stayed all four years at Pacific, they each excelled in multiple sports. Both ended their careers at Pacific with numerous athletic accolades and left with close to 4.0 GPA's. It was my pleasure to watch both of them grow throughout the four years both as athletes and friends. They are both outstanding adults and I expect great things from both in the future. I feel like I was the lucky one to have known them and was allowed to be part of their lives.

What great student athletes they are! I will miss them both!)

avin Singer left a big mark on the track fields of Pacific High School. The school's

2015 Ken Hubbs Award male nominee was a league champion in both cross country and track.

Singer broke Pacific's school record in the 800 meters by finishing under the magical twominute mark in a time of one minute, 57 seconds. Along with his many top-3 finishes at major invitational's, he qualified for the state track finals in Fresno in both the 800 meters outdoor and the 600 indoor event. He was Pacific's #1 runner on its 2011 San Andreas League cross country championship team and was league track champ at 1600 meters.

Between running seasons, Singer was named all-league first team as captain of Pacific's soccer team as senior. "I am impressed with his ability to balance everything out," said Singer's father, Harold. "Cross country starts in summer. Then comes soccer season and right into track.

I think Javin had only a month break in four years of high school."

Singer said his son did all this along with holding two part time

jobs. Harold Singer was Pacific's assistant cross country coach for three years and the head track coach last year. He said it's a 20hour day at the Singer's. Harold works the graveyard in his job in Ontario. "My wife (Nisha) stays on top of everything and I focus on the athletics. We have a system that we should put a patent on."

The elder Singer told of his son's participation in the Rotary Life community service program where he was one of 14 students from the San Bernardino Unified School District to be picked.

Javin Singer told of a scholarship he earned from the Rotary Club for his 100% participation in working on community events.

"As part of the Rotary Life program you must always be prepared to present a speech at a public event. It taught me about leadership and to be respectful of those in authority, but not to be afraid of speaking with them."

Singer will take his skills to Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff where he earned an academic scholarship but will have

quickly after that. Chinese Taipai’s next seven batters reached base via a mixture of walks and singles, generating a 5run lead in the process and San Bernardino never recovered.

It was the third inning before Joe Manialung singled to right for San Bernardino’s first hit of the game. He ended up scoring later in the inning to make it 5-1.

Chinese Taipai added another run in the fourth on a home run

by Ho Li-Yung before adding six more runs in the fifth to end the game due to the 10-run mercy rule.

With a flair for the dramatic throughout the journey, San Bernardino earned its trip to the World Series with a 9-8 win over Santa Cruz in Los Alamitos.

Damien Sanchez hit a grounder down the third base line to drive in the winning run in that game.

It was the first time a San Bernardino team played in the Pony League World Series since 1955.

San Bernardino advanced past teams from SoCal, NorCal, Washington, Arizona, Utah and Hawaii to represent the West in the tournament.

Members of the team included Manualung, Sanchez, Eddie Aldama Jr., Gilbert Aguilar, Devyn Lopez, Jon Carlos, Eli Martinez, Noah Parra, Gabriel Lujano, Matt Bardowell, Abel Madueno Jr., and Tyler Bardowell.

The ride to get there however, will provide a lifetime of memories for the 14-and-under all-stars referred to as “Berdoo.”

San Bernardino had won in dramatic fashion, rallying to beat Hagertown (Md.) 10-5 the night before, but the team couldn’t muster the same magic against Chinese Taipai on Wednesday, falling 12-1 at Lew Hays Pony Field in Washington, Pa.

to make the track and cross country teams as a walk on. If that doesn't work, he may try out for the soccer team. He will major in Biology. "My main goal is to get through school, then transfer to UC Davis to get a doctorate of veterinary medicine. He was also offered scholarships from Moorhouse University and Southern Utah.

In the one-hour phone interview with Javin Singer, he answered some difficult questions about high school life. "I learned to choose my words very carefully. People can change under certain situations and many would rather follow than lead," acknowledged Singer. "It's important to keep in touch with as many people as you can."

Singer said he discontinued playing baseball because it was too slow, instead enjoyed the fast pace of soccer. He called Pacific's soccer team a bunch of good players who were friends off the field but a "mess on the field." He said Pacific's soccer matches attract more spectators than baseball due to its popularity with the Hispanic population.

Singer answered that it was his opinion that high school educator's need to relate more to a younger generation. "Students are interested in iPads and what the Apple Company is doing.

Younger experts like those from Microsoft could be brought into the classroom to discuss technology. History is important but it's my opinion that there should be more emphasis put into the future and not so much in the past."

UCLA closes camp with Fan Appreciation at CSUSB

A

The team's running backs go through drills to work on conditioning during camp.

By Richard Dawson

fter two hot weeks, the UCLA Football team finished its 4th annual training camp at Cal State San Bernardino with a Fan Appreciation day on Saturday, August 22.

Similar to past years, fans came out in groves to get autographs and pictures with players, discounts on game tickets, and team memorabilia.

Stator Bros., a presenting sponsor of the camp, presented food and beverages to those in attendance.

The Bruins came into camp with a few offseason distractions hanging over head. In June there was an on campus incident involving Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and a team coach. Then as camp opened up at CSUSB two weeks ago, Cordell Broadus, son of Snoop Dogg, publically quit the team.

Tabloids aside, UCLA enters the 2015 season ranked No. 13 in the AP Top 25 Poll.

The defense, led by new coordinator Tom Bradley, is expected to carry the team as it returns nine starters and it gets Randall Goforth back after he missed all but

two games last year.

Bradley used the training camp has an opportunity to showcase new looks and increased pressure, which gave the young offense trouble at times.

While it is filled with talent, the inexperienced offense is expected to have ups and downs as Coach Jim Mora has yet to announce his starting quarterback from either freshman Josh Rosen or junior Jerry Neuheisel.

The two have to replace the void left by Brett Hundley, the team’s star quarterback the past three seasons, who was drafted by the Green Bay Packers of the NFL. No matter who the quarterback is, the offensive line will play a big part in the team’s ability to score points.

Health of the O-line was tested during camp however, as left tackle Conor McDerrmott and center Jake Brendel missed time with injuries. Both are expected to be fine by week 1, but it is a situation to monitor.

The UCLA season begins September 5 against the University of Virginia at the Rose Bowl.

San Bernardino County: Dogs to lend a paw in courtrooms as part of D.A.’s new program

t only two-years old, Lupe and Dozer became San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office newest members.

Sitting proud, the two black labrador pups placed their right paw on a California law book to take their official oath Aug. 21, being sworn in by District Attorney Mike Ramos to serve as the area’s first courthouse dogs.

Lupe, looked up in full attention at her handler Don Ross, accepting the words of Ramos to support their most vulnerable victims and uphold the values of the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office.

After the swearing-in and a treat, of course, each dog received a San Bernardino County District Attorney badge as the first members of the District Attorney’s new Special Victims K-9 Unit.

Together, the teams will help pro-

vide comfort to children who are victims of crimes or part of court proceedings as they testify before juries, give depositions, and make other court appearances.

The District Attorney’s courthouse dog program is the first in Southern California and is funded by unclaimed victim restitution funds, Ramos said.

Lupe and Ross, a victim advocate, are assigned to the San Bernardino office, while Dozer and her handler Yesica Cioli will work out of the Victorville division.

Lupe and Dozer will serve as “companions” to little ones and be able to take the stand alongside children, Ross said.

“She does a really great job of letting you know she’s there for you,” Ross said of Lupe. “Just her sitting at your feet offers a sense of security and that’s what we want for the children. We want to be able to offer them comfort and Lupe and Dozer are a perfect pair for doing so.”

Both dogs have similar training as therapy or assistance dogs, said Ellen O’Neill Stephens, a former prosecutor and founder of Courthouse Dogs, an organization that trains facility dogs to provide emotional support to victims of crimes who must testify in court.

Scientific research shows that dogs have a calming effect and help during stressful and traumatic situations, Stephens said.

“They’ll be assets to everyone.”

The pups are expected to be fully trained over the next few weeks and will be ready for the courtroom in about two months, Ross added.

“As soon as the vest goes on, she’s ready to work,” he said of Lupe. “All she wants in return is a little belly rub to know she’s doing a job well done.”

So if you enjoy great music and helping furry friends, the special Friday night engagement is definitely a night you do not want to miss, added Henderson.

Each year, the artist performs over a dozen sets at the show, in addition to the handful of requests made by the audience.

"I love that we are able to make a tradition of this year after year,” said Simons. “The people who work at the Humane Society, and those who join us at this event, have always been so warm and

welcoming, allowing for an intimate environment for storytelling.”

And this year, he’s excited about debuting “a bunch of brand new songs,” he said.

In addition to the plenty other of surprises Simons’ has in store, guests can also enjoy a night of festivities as the HSSBV celebrates 45 years of helping animals.

Attendees will be able to sign a giant birthday card for the organization, marking its milestone in the community.

A small pop-up shop featuring Keaton Simons merchandise will also be available.
