A. Mayor's Day of Service Brainstorming – The committee determined that it needs to find out the exact date and theme of the Mayor’s Day of Service.  Norma reported that she believe the Mayor’s Day of Service is scheduled for sometime in October.  The committee recommended that we request to the Mayor’s office that the Mayor’s Day of Service be on a Saturday.  The committee discussed involving Hollywood Land Girls’ Camp.  There were preliminary plans to involve them at the last Mayor’s Day of Service, but they had another event on the same day.  They might be available to be a part of the event this year.

The committee also suggested focusing service projects on the senior community, by involving seniors in the projects and conducting projects that benefit them.  One suggested idea was to have a Emergency Preparedness Event for Seniors and for Persons with Disabilities, to know where they are in the time of emergency to help them out.

B. Firefighter Festival Brainstorming – Last year, HUNC was the only NC involved in the Firefighter Festival.  HUNC had a table at the event, bought two memorial blocks, sponsored an Essay and Art Contest at Cheremoya, and helped plan the Torch Run to Cheremoya.  The committee set the following goals for this year’s Firefighter Festival:

  • Involved all schools in the area, particularly Immaculate Heart
  • Have an Essay and Art Contest focused on individual safety: what would you do if there was a fire at home?  Kids could write about safety plans, how to put out a fire at home, an escape plan, etc.


Meeting adjourned at 6:33pm.
