Your name? Yeah. No, we need to fix it. I do it wrong then every day. Gonzalez with an S at the end. I know. It's true. Oh, Gonzalez with the S. Huh? You know what it is on the roster in the application when you did the town clerk stuff? It does a V. I don't know. Really? Oh, I I changed it.
Okay. So, me, you know, because Okay. I know. Z L E S. No, I don't have a panda. Okay, just for the minutes, I guess. I'll be right past this. You can feed this one. No, no, that's fine. No, I have more of your previous roots. Okay, the mango.
I have Yeah. Yeah, I do have Hello. Hello. N here. Who? Nie. Okay, so N's here. No, L is not here. Let's see. We'll go back. Is anybody through the chair? Is anybody that's not here is an excuse
or is that No, but it's because it's the chair's expression. That's why. And she needs to know for me somewhere from here or how does that we using the
same one? Yeah, I would to strike out Maria for example. So the minutes are approved, right? Yes, I second. Yeah. Public vote on it. Oh, we'll vote. All in favor? No,
no, or whatever that is. So now we have public. Okay. Any public comment? You want to make a couple? There's no one online either. So, okay. Okay. Any presentations? Do we have any presentation? No.
Oh, yeah. This is awesome. Treasury report. So, the report so this is as August 8th. Is that 30,1 176? 30,000.
So the volage is we we have 323. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But so I think I wouldn't worry about as much. You guys should be fine for the next game because we're one working on a sponsor and two um I believe that the
check from the commissioner's office that he was covering the play. I don't think the money has come in yet. Okay. So you guys had to burden were burdened with the expense but because he's sending the check. Yeah. But anyway enough to cover you for the end for the September. I also October we
started a new budget right October 1st you started. So we only need all our money. Okay. So it comments for me. I already read it but I'm going to say it again. Here we go. Because some of you weren't
here when I said um [Music] you. Okay. I wanted um to talk to thank everybody for participating and being
here and I want to remind everybody that we are a nonpartisan group. We are nonpolitical. Okay. So, anything identifying our hair, our clothes can only be worn at activities that are
okay. Everybody get it? Yeah. Yes. I'm sorry. I just came in No, no, no, no. I just I this, you know, this this is going to be work when we do our stuff. Was the only time I wor
Okay, perfect. So, that's that old old stuff. The field trip. How was it? It was great. Which ones? The last one. The theater. The theater. The theater. The You went and it was great. It was great.
It was good. And they gave snacks finally, right? And they were good. Everybody enjoyed them. Awesome. Like what? No, it was a play. Oh, play. No. It wasn't for a
game. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Did anybody go to the FIU med student? No. No. Hold on. This is something else. Uh, so before just because we're talking about field trips, um, I wanted to mention an incident we had with the movie just to make us all aware
because this may affect your budget. Yes. Any um, what happened? [Music] So, um I know we've mentioned before with the movie theater here that um every time we book them it's kind of in
a rush because they never answer and it's always a little difficult but it's worked out in the past. Um so this time they did not answer the emails um but there was verbal communication that they were going to host us. However, we didn't get that confirmation till less than a week before the date we were
planning. So, I had a conversation with um with the chair and I told her, "Hey, we're going to go ahead and cancel this and we'll just move it to another day because now we don't have enough um time to promote it." I know Rosario was like, "Well, at this point, just leave it." Even though it's like, but I explained to her my concern is I don't
want seniors calling me and then saying, "Oh, it was favoritism. It was just the committee's friends because you didn't promote it." Right? Like, I I want to stay away from that because you guys already know how the bingo campaigns are. I get them all the time. So, I don't want anybody saying that. So, I
told her, "Let's give us two weeks is what I asked for at the minimum." Um, my colleague Noah has been helping me with this. He called the guy and told him, "Hey, we're going to reschedu." Apparently, the manager didn't understand that we were calling from the town. He just thought we were any group
calling. That's what he told him. And he was like, "Yeah, no problem. We'll we'll we'll do the date another day." The date phones and the other general manager calls us from the movies and tells us, "Hey, your hot dogs are red." And what you said, What are you people?
So, they were expecting us to pay this. Now, at this point, it's a he said, she said thing. I mean, you know, we do feel bad for them and we understand that whatever they they spent the money on the food. Um, so I told Noah, okay, have them send you at the very least have
them send you an invoice so that we know what we're paying for, what you're charging us for. It's now been a week and a half and they still haven't even sent us the invoice. So, I just want to reiterate how bad the communication is with this vendor. Wow. That even when we're trying to pay them,
they can't bother to answer anything. So, we'll have to wait. So, when I get an invoice, if I do, I'll let you know how we're going to address that. But I would really request the committee to consider doing the movies another way because we cannot keep working with vendors that are like we had this issue with Sadano when we did
like I think we need to learn our lessons when we have bad vendors and not that's the only movie theater close to us. So, my proposition to you guys will hold down. My proposition, and this is for you guys to consider, you don't have to take it,
is we can blow up a movie screen at a park, at a community center, bring out popcorn for the seniors, and we kind of host our own little thing. Okay, it's a little different than the movie theater, but that would be my suggestion, but we're open to suggestions.
Children, what's the expense of that? Before my question, she said, "Have have our own movie where?" At the park. At the park. At the park or community center. Yeah. Inside
has would have to be inside. Okay. I think you had something to say. I was just going to say that they've been doing we've been not us but movies in the park for the children for years and it's very successful I believe. Isn't that the same? But at least it's
more we have more control. Right. But could I go ahead? The only thing at least in the park better chairs because seniors kids sit on the ground. Yeah. And that's going to be more of a dispenseable. Yes. Right. And that's what's hard. We we got to remember we're dealing with seniors, right?
And that's the one objection I have with that. So we could have I have a I have a question. I would offer if you guys want me to go in person and maybe you know it's something that you do every month every other month or I did in person. I went Yeah, I went in person.
I showed up in person. He told me that's when the whatever and then when he finally got back to them, it was I don't even think he got back to us again. So, and I will mention I I do I personally do not like taking people's words for
things like I very much work off the email because that's the confirmation that we're going to pay you and this is a service, right? However, I know that they're very difficult to work with. So, we were kind of doing it off of I know Rosario went which isn't ideal. We should not be working like that. But but maybe we can figure it out
because I think the movies at the theater are different than the movies. So just going forward based off of now their track record I'm telling you guys right now if I don't receive an email confirming that from them confirming with an invoice any event I will not be promoting it and I will
not be paying for the invoice and it is not considered go figure it out because then it is going to be an issue going forward and we can't have it. Okay. There is a movie theater on Red. I don't know how good or bad it is but they're $8. I think they closed down the whole one
by Lowe's. I don't mind because we go in the afternoon. It's not the deal. But I think they closed our day. I think it's closed down. And the audio next to us will be sens. Yeah. Again, that would be possible. Yes. Nat. And we possibly ask for a volunteer to
confirm that it's closed down. No, no, no. I know it's closed. I drove by there. Yes. I'm across the parking lot. Okay. So, so maybe or maybe they've closed down, but they do plan to reopen.
No, they're not going to miss Okay. So, it's going to go ahead. Right. There's a closer there's two in Miami. Movie theater right on 103rd where the uh Rooms to Go outlet is and the big um Ashley furniture store.
Maybe that was a better one. But then we would have transportation. Yeah, we can. I was going to say that. Well, no, we'll think about that. Anyways, if you guys have ideas on want to bring it back next meeting so that we can start off the new year, the new fiscal year maybe with this new Oh, you know what?
Who was the one that told me that they went to to the play to the plate right here in Miami? Yes. We can do that. Yeah. To the where the play the playhouse right there. Can I Can I I don't know if it's the new business or can I just throw it in?
Yeah. So, just so you know, normally when we do additions, corrections, and deletions, that's where you would add anything to the agenda. But as long as the committee is okay, reopening it, we're good. So, so I I met with um Angie, with uh Patty, I met with like four different members from the uh Miami Main Street
Playhouse. It's called uh That's good. And and they did tell me that the cultural affairs committee has a member, Charles, that's also part of something. Maybe we can do that. Fill that the gap of the movies with that,
right? How is it inside? I've never been there. Ice once. How many people? They have for 50 people. Okay. So, what they told me is they they wanted to come today, but I I couldn't
tell them just show up. But then I realized you as a public you could come and sit down, but I didn't know if they were going to have time to do any presentation. So we we spoke about the idea of taking the seniors
to see their play instead of taking them to Lorill or the gate. I want to because when we look cuz when we look at the numbers of participants it's an average of 42 people give and take for the gables once you have 38 people and
then the other one I think it was about 42. So yeah. So the fact that they have space for 50, that's good. I we also spoke of having a set price. It's an option planning. It's a set price for the elder for for the
committee uh invitation. I like that. That's good. And the other option they gave me is to do a special engagement for just the under the committee. Meaning we promote it, we get 30 people, that's enough for
them to set up the actual show. that monthly like the movie monthly. Right. Right. I don't know how many plays they have. How many places they have a year? Well, the season just started. Um [Music] yeah, the season just started. So they
we also spoke about other ideas, you know, kind of have to go to the cultural uh committee, but um they they're really really really loving the idea of being able to help us especially with their engagements regular plays. We can
see we'll fill it up. I don't know. And I wanted to ask you, we can promote their shows cuz senior pricing it's a $20. It's $20. 25. It's 25 but it'll be nice like for anyone for anyone that wants to go it's 25
but they're also willing to do the special engagement for us. Um there were some other ideas of doing Shakespeare on the on the greens like they do in New York Central Park. She they went crazy with that idea and they wanted to do it. I said hold your
horses you know they also said that chars was planning some some things like that but the idea that aisle you know the whole uh screen the movie screen that can be it's setting up
set it up they have bleacher ceiling right so maybe they want to work with us as screening a movie screening a movie because their ceiling is bleacher there right right Yeah, we can do it right and it's still it's too hard for the scene.
Oh, definitely. No, it doesn't work. And we have no control of the weather. And it's also taking a pee. Okay. So, what do I do? I make a motion for now. The question is up to them if they're willing to do that. Yeah, we'll we'll do it
or whatever we decide for them to do any of the play during the season. [Music] I'm sorry. I didn't was really just borrowed from her. That's what I was trying to ask her. I didn't mean for her to flip it. Well, you said I haven't. It's okay. Don't worry about it. Just
pass. What I would suggest that goes this way cuz then we're going to get stuck in this loop of we can do this, we can do this. What I would suggest is just have them draft up like whatever. I mean, they're creative. So, whatever their idea, what they think would be good for the seniors, have them draft up like an
invoice, a proposal of what it is that they're proposing to us and what it would cost us and like that the committee can look at it and approve. Um, I think she wants to see I'm trying to get but thank you. They they I went to the opening night um
for they have a play the revolution. The revolution being opening night there were only 10 12 people. That's what I'm saying. So we'll fill it up for them. And half of the people there were family members and I was there as a like they invited
me to see what the location. So really empty opening night for Miami Lakes. I almost cried. I was like so so I wanted to ask you a question. Can we promote their their movie
theater? Can I can we can we post on the Miami Lakes page as events coming up like Miami Lakes Playhouse if we wanted to help them or if we're going to go. You guys can personally, but the town
Instagram isn't to promote businesses. However, there is a we do have like a secondary page that's it's like a shop eat Miami Lakes thing and in there we promote businesses so we can like make sure they're included but it's not going to be an all the time thing. It's really just going to be one.
But when you go to the town of Miami uh page that you go to events or meetings they can promote that. Those are events from the town those are town like s. So if they're going to have an event there, it'll be promoted. It's a collaboration with affairs. So if we
do it like we set it up monthly, right? Like every Tuesday, Wednesday, Wednesday, that specific day, that specific opportunity will pop up. That's what we need to do. They they they don't have like a football. They're little. It's just sad. I mean,
everything watch I they do provide they have beverages. She look she went one day a private birthday the dog was part of that and we took food you know like a little catering thing you know they have like a stand outside in the
area they for the opening night they were providing uh we can do that and all that and free wine they have free wine they have free drinks we can do that we can do that but I mean it's amazing this committee can can
Are you going to come in and take seniors Guys, we're all talking at once. Okay, so that's So, do I need to make a motion for that? A motion to find Oh, there's nothing in motion, right? No. So, I I'm trying to help you guys move forward cuz if not, we're going to come next meeting and we're going to talk about what a great idea this is.
No, we're going to bring a proposal like have them because they're creative so they know what they're talking about. I think have them draft what a whatever the invoice would be, what they would offer, what dates are available, and then you guys can all look at it next meeting and you can
approve it. And hopefully we're talking about next fiscal year at that point. So you guys will have new money. Anything I think anything we ask to them would be good because it's extra money if they're if they're you know whatever. Wouldn't we have to pay for the ticket to the No, but she means that whatever we want, they'll do it because they have nothing
else. I feel that. So I feel like if they're tasking you, it's cuz they trust you to put it together with them. Yes. So So Okay. So now we don't have to file a motion for that. No, you would do the motion. Tell them it's a proposal. Bring it next
and then we do the motion. And just to help you, just to help you, have them do it after October 1st cuz right now you guys are kind of out of money. You're kind of out of money for the year. So have them propose dates after October 1st. Thank you. And usually during the
daytime because I know the seniors don't like to go out every night. Go ahead. No, I was saying to to do the proposal in October and and what price? Okay. You know, I just I just want to make it clear and if we
make it as part of a motion that it is official. Yeah. But we can't do it yet because we don't know. We make a motion that he's going to look into. No. When he does it then we is that it doesn't make any sense. He's not doing anything. He's just talking to them. Okay, he can talk to them. It's not
official until the committee approves it. What? We're going off. Okay. The hair day thing. Did that work out? Okay. Well, hold on. F. Yes. I just have an update for you guys about
remember that the students came and they wanted to do the presentation. They're I guess whatever we're starting a new school year. So they asked me again and I told them yesterday that you guys would still be interested but they are kind of stuck on they want to do it
on a weekend. I know the last time I spoke to you guys you guys said no because on the weekend then we need to pay down tour. I think that was what but let me know. I don't know. I'm asking just in case you're we can afford to spend any money unless they're going to pick it up all the junk themselves. No but we need to have done for there's no cuz who's going to clean the
No. Then then who going to do it? Oh, so if if it's on a Saturday, we need to pay. Yes. Saturday for the building cuz then we're opening the building to the public. Yeah. So, and how much is that? Probably. I have to double check. It's not too
much, but I'm asking you guys. What do you all want to do? Find out how much we can get it sponsored. I can tell you guys how much it is. Give me the money. And do you think a lot of people will come on Saturday?
I don't think because Saturday that's why I'm asking you guys for your input so I can I don't think I don't know Saturday people you think people will come on Saturday. Yeah. I don't know. There you go. What? Saturday for what?
You student presentation. Yeah. matter if they say they can help you know for the iPhone to do this a lot of stuff they can do whatever we had it once at town I'm sorry we had it once at town they came and
they well but it was during the week right but now they want to come on the weekend they're doing it for us we got to try to work right so do you think Saturday will work I think it will I I think that our senior demographic
Catholics are so accustomed to showing up during the week for the Mount Si seminars and and the same tea info that we've had in the past a couple of times very well
responded to but again we're we're changing the whole format. We haven't done anything basically on the weekend. The only thing we do in the weekend is the health fair, right? During the week, how many people have gone to the once
30ish? It depends on the topic. Yeah, it it's medical for the most part. Yeah, this would be medical. If they want to take the risk of nobody coming, that's up to them. But you guys, I would have to pay the dinosaur. That's really all I'm asking. So, it's $17 an
hour for personnel and they would have to be there here like we have to have 30 minutes before. No, we could have one for that one and the person would have to stay after everybody's gone to clean up. For how long? So, four hours. So, at least four hours. Yeah. You're not going to come for that? We could do it.
So, that's not So, do you guys want to approve a Saturday? Yeah. So, less than $10. Yeah. What about normally other sponsors like Mount Si? Normally they provide refreshments and light bites because it draws people in. They are not going to
be providing us. So would you guys be willing to cover that as well or Oh, so they're not going to provide any students. They don't have Well, I'm just asking you guys. But because this is this is not about the tech stuff. This is different. We're being This is the FIU
students that came to present a couple months ago, right? This is that they talk about like I think they have students that go out part of their studies, they go out to the the senior's home, then they provide like certain help or whatever they're talking about the service
as part of of them going to med school at FIU, they need to do they do this. Yes, they do. That's what they would give that presentation of what that program that did. Go ahead. Go ahead. Frankly, comparatively
speaking, the FIU students credits to them with no comparison to major medical doctors that the the M. They're only going to talk about their program, right? That's what I'm saying.
No, I don't know. I don't know if it was poorly received. That's That's Yeah, I don't I don't think it might be worth. So, again, just asking you guys your feedback because I need to get back to Yeah, we think about it. Can you get like a what what are they talking about? The thing is that they came to talk to you later and told you guys
and it's not even about the bus. Remember the one the lady that came about that? It's not even that. That was great. The one that comes to talk about if you don't have health insurance. It's not even that. No, no. Well, the students came a couple months ago to your meeting and they talked to you guys. Nobody remembers.
I remember the house. No, I have to look back at our house. I can't remember. The guy with the with the phone that that was great, but that's not them, right? And frankly, food has always been a major
I think we should wait on that. I mean, if if it's going to be on the weekend and we have to pay and it's not nothing that No, I'm sorry. So I told them we prefer to keep it during the weekday. We if they want to do it during the weekday and if they wanted an audience
something about food they can do any money because maybe they could do it at a bingo if it's 15 minutes. No, we can't do anything at a bingo because by the time we feed them, by the time we play bingo, we can't then they raffle and everything.
No, we it takes too long. And remember, well, now we have more time again because the kids left, you know, the school, but we really don't have time to do anything. It takes and then the sponsors that do pay deserve the time. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah. Um, yeah, I don't want to take too much time because I have a couple of things I need from you guys. Um, so you guys are busy. Yeah. Hair day that Rosario had put us in contact with the school in Hia. Um, we have the date set for
Wednesday the 27th in two weeks. Yes, we're going to go out with the Wednesday the 27th. Um, it's going to go from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. So, you're going to promote it? Yeah. Hold on. I want I need something
for seniors. And for us, you want to do your nail, do your nail. You want a massage? Now, I have a question. is that where are we going professional people with high school? Oh, some of them I mean are
full disclosure some of they're students in a beauty school. Okay. So, if you were comfortable with a student in a beauty school doing your hair or doing your nails, that's what they're going to do. We massage they do massage. They're going to do this is what they're offering. Men and women haircuts,
hairstyles, chair massages, mini facials, manicures. So, they're going to be free. Okay. Would you repeat that? I'm sorry. Manicure and what? Haircuts, hairstyles, chair massages, mini facials, and manicures.
They are going to come from 9, sorry, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Um, and it's going to be Wednesday, August 27th. So, two weeks free and it's all free. However, take um
we're gonna This is going to be at Roberto Alonzo Community Center. That's where it's going to take place. So, they're coming to They're coming to the Yeah, they're coming to the top. Um, what I wanted to confirm with you guys is we asked them, okay, how many seniors can you take? And they told us they don't know because since they're
students, everybody has different times, right? Like they're I guess they have different uh experience. So, I want to make sure with you guys, I am going to put out there first come, first serve. Exactly. I don't want a senior then getting upset
because they didn't do anything that they didn't do anything. Like I'm sure that they would have probably different lists for different, you know, how to sign up and and I'm going to limit it one service per senior because if not the same team senior getting five services and the other Yeah. Yeah. I think I just want to make sure we're all on the same
and I would even limit maybe 25 or 30. It'll be the first time and then this will The reason I ask is because normally I put things on Eventbrite. But if if I put on if I put on Eventbrite 40 spots and they get taken up and then I have seniors show up and we're waiting on the people on the list,
it's going to be a disaster. So I think I'm at the point where I don't even want to put it on Eventbrite. I want to put it on our town website saying first come first serve and it really is first come first serve that day and one service per person and one service per person. Is that Miami Lakes residents only? It is. We remember if it said Roberto
Alonzo, we cannot limit it. But it'll be on our website, but it's we have to who's paying for it? But it's in our community. It's in none of those none of those. And what is the time frame?
9:30. No special. You hear? You can only do one. So if you go for your massage, you get one. Here's a question. If it's first come, first serve that you're going to post it
as which makes sense. Is there any chance that we would say I'd like to get my nails done or is that out of the question? Well, if you're first, if you're the first one there, yeah, you can do it. You're senior in spite of being committee members who
aren't sponsoring. So, let's do a list that day. We'll do a list like that day and we'll have them check in kind of thing, right? Okay. Go next. And I'm not getting anyone the list before 9:00 a.m. cuz I know that they like to show up early just to see if there at 8:00 a.m. Nobody else.
Go ahead. And then are they are they signing up in advance? No. She's telling you that you go on the web on the web. But they're signing up in advance. No. Bad day. Yes. If you get there and you're the first
one, you go if get there an hour later and they're over, it's open. But yes, we are going to have a list day of. But what I'm saying is I'm not going to open that list. Like I'm not going to make it available to you until like 9:00 a.m. which is 30 minutes before the service. Where where I'm going with this is so you're going to make an announcement.
You're going to do this. You're going to have these services available. First come, first serve. People are going to think where do I sign up? Because that's what they're used to. No. First come, first serve. I don't know that that's we have to explain to them you have to
be the first one there get it the second one there go ahead my question no advanced reservation hold I end to my question yes to respond so make sure you say no advanced sign up or registration that
covers any baloney at town hall go ahead daddy a silly question be mailed The nail can do it too. Wonderful. Make sure you put that on there. Yes, cuz some of our our clients can get a little I was I was wondering because you know
they can get their nails done or get their hair done. That's great. Mr. Yeah, I do. Something beautifification. Oh, we put senior spa day. That's what the label's putting it out as. And then
put it. That's nice. Cuz she asked me she asked me about the registration. She always asks me, "How do you always put this on the Laker?" And I told her, "First come, first serve." We are not opening it up on event. She knows. So, it's going to be for seniors. Senior
sp. Okay. We'll see how that would be great. Every month. I'm not coming especially some of our explain. Nothing had to do there, right? No. No. So now I just want to make sure uh
senior social. Do we have somebody who's going to chair this since we lost Maria Borges and she's the one that she's already on this? She did all the stuff already. Yeah, but I still want like a point of contact just in case. You want to share me or you? I don't care.
Okay. So, in case you need anything else for the I have to go. Let me know. Figure out what you guys want for catering. I'm going to be You guys already gave her back. Didn't you didn't we already pick the food last year?
You guys picked the No, we picked the food, too. I think so, too. Okay, let me notes. Because we went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, but nobody's brought me an invoice. So, whoever was supposed to do it. You said Halloween you're talking about, right? Yes.
Yes. And she said she took all the stuff to the community. I have to go. Okay. Les and Omar to get quotes for food for the upcoming holiday. Omar, you failed. No, for the pa guy. You remember? Oh, yes. They mentioned
she also she also has a person that does it and the one that I've used at all my parties. Then bring you bring the when we need you can do between $10 to $12 per person and I know we discussed that we don't want to we don't want seafood just in
case it has to be what happens in my son it's chefito I don't know if you guys he does a lot of stuff he's a show he's a should probably like him I mean we but it depends and we've done the ampino which it has you know chisto it has pork and
then we have to end up doing a vegetarian one. So he's like the best way to go is just chicken. I don't like that. Everybody always I will just do that and not even get any more chicken $12. Okay. So two notes for you guys. One,
you'll bring an invoice next. How many How many savings for that? We do 130. We do. But I I want to reconfirm with you guys. Are we okay with this? Because that's not individual portions. And then I know you guys are very big on having individual lunches cuz then if not, who's going to serve it? They serve it.
No, they they serve it right there. Okay. And another thing with Bayas, I don't know if this is the case for them. There is no cooking on site. So let them know that the food has to be brought. Oh, but that's not the they make it then we cannot have them. I think there's a special permit that you that cuz I'm having I'm doing a
He can cook outside, but he cannot cook inside. But the thing is that most of the ingredients are already pre-cooked and the whole, you know, show is just to mix it in, warm it up. That's what I'm saying. There is no show because the seniors are inside and he's outside. Yeah. So that part of it is not going to
happen. Yes. Yes. Um I remember when I started there were people practicing a dance, the Miami Heat dancers, they were doing something in the back. Mhm. Yeah. In the health. Yeah. In the back. They were warming up. Yeah. On the back.
Yes. It's outside. It was outside. Right. In the in the back. It was like a where the little domino tables are outside in the mural. Right. Right. So, I think that would be great. We decide to go this route with the P. I think cuz they could see it from the from inside. There's a big window outside.
I think that $12 or $13 you we're not going to find anything that's No. And they get up, they take the plate, and they have the cook and the server. Yeah. Right there. Um, usually they have the they cook in the paella, they'll serve it, and then you'll get your
salad, a plantain, and a piece of bread, and go on your way. I mean, same as always, you guys just have to serve, right? We're not going to have seniors getting up. No, I don't think we should have seniors getting up and wandering around. If anything, since we have the because they do it in Hia when they do, they just put it on the cards and then we
Is that okay? Is that okay with everybody? No, no, no. I open. Is that okay with everybody? We have to take the food to the city like we do with my kids. They're not I need to do a movie is from Valencia,

So the Alzheimer's Association wants to bring
out for free to the committee uh a presentation specifically on Alzheimer's. That's great. Um so I booked a date. I just want to confirm that it's something you guys want. I already have the space uh held for you guys. I have it for Friday, September 5th. It

motion that we're going to sponsor I guess sponsoring the Alzheimer's Association presentation up to $100 maybe cookies and coffee for that little
if you only they don't have that many like it's not a full breakfast $150 donuts and coffee just tell me the amount I bring one of these tonight. Well,
if you if you say noon, they might expect lunch as far as but then don't you can put that like refreshments and snack provided. Possibly make it 11. Just a thought.

Yeah, put it on. I don't know how 15. So, she's amending her motion for 15. I agree. All agreed. Any any names? No.
You know, one thing I'm looking at her little these here. That would be perfect for coffee with coffee. And these are not that expensive. You know, bakery like when you go to Nevada, they have all those little
things. I went to senior center in um I took my son whatever and I I called the lady and the lady will be buy she doesn't sell it she let me buy it and she might let me buy it for you for less I took all the you know blah stuff I
don't know how we already go ahead my granddaughter's husband works for and they have so much of what that they throw in. Oh,
and they have so much stuff at the end of the day that they just throw out. He can get us. You tell me what you want. The mini poundake the only I know when they give up our books are expiring. I
have no problem with her, but I know this the factory. This is from the factory day because again, we all know it doesn't go back that day. But if it has the wrong date, god forbid we get to a senior and then you know attention because it's a town. Yeah. Okay.
He's got what he's got is package little muffins. Anime makes package. They put like five or six little muffins in a package and little mini pound cakes and the mini. They have the mini buy one get one free little mini cakes that come in
right and the crumb cakes. Well, does that mean that you will bring that and you will bring me an invoice for l? Yeah, bring invoice. No, I'll bring an idea because you have choose well this but we don't have time to choose. You guys don't have a meeting. This is
that's why is it are we giving an invoice? Friday, September 5th. Oh, no. She's going to bring it free. I I know, but I'm asking her. Hold on. Omar's first. Nancy, go ahead. Going back to when I started, I know that we have an Einstein Einstein bagels
down the street. I And I remember asking, "How about if I can go and say, "Hey donations or response, you know, they give you free stuff. You know, it's locally. We're supporting the local businesses." We don't have time to get you go and do it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm just
going to assign one person. Then it gets messy. Who's going to be the one to confirm the the donations that they uh but we still need to figure out coffee. So who's going to confirm the coffee? I'll go I mean Donkey Donuts or Einstein they sell the Yeah, we have money. They're setting
money aside first. So if you want to So purchases Einstein I guess I mean the coffee. We only I can tell you from experience we usually buy two dogs for the the lectures and they don't even go through the two dogs. So more than enough two
chunks of regular is more than enough. So if anything would Don't give them options the same thing. No just regular options. Let me write 20 people. Just hold on. 30. Go ahead Nancy.
No. Okay. He's with the Chamber of Commerce. Yeah. Go ahead Nancy. Okay. So you already decided coffee and Yes. the ant whatever the amp is. Why don't we just finish the rest of the sentence and say do these because
they're reusable if they don't get because she might get more stuff for free. I get stuff for free. Oh, I didn't Well, that's why I say I didn't realize we they do have packages of many of those. Just so Yeah, but they sweeter. They have chocolate.
They're not as sweet. No, no, no. Okay. So, so then we have three of you talking at the same time. They're individuals. They're individuals. Okay, Jerry, let's move on. Okay,
finish then. Go ahead. We know what these cost. $70 a month. I don't know. All right, let me see. Seven bucks. Let's say then we go with these. No, we're not going to go with that because she's going to get them for
free. That's what I'm saying trying to say is if we definitely get them for free. So it's not definite yet. It is definite. They have stuff then fine. They have stuff left over all the time. Definite. So
move it along. All right. Okay. Next. Hold down report. Move forward cuz I don't want this then falling on me. You want to donate them for my own money. Okay. If she can get it for free, that will be fine. If she can't then spend
money if I can get it for free. And getting daddy will bring you when you go get the copy like the day before or whatever, uh, get in contact with me so I can give you the song credit card so you can use it. Okay. And run to the moon.
Yeah. We have approval from the committee. They're going to pay coffee. Move on. Next. Next. Okay. So, now another one. Approval for TD Safe presentation. What's TD? I'm going to tell you guys. I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is. I will tell you guys about it. So, we
had a representative from TD Bank reach out. They are doing um they have this lecture called most vulnerable population educating our most vulnerable population about fraud. Obviously, seniors are targeted for fraud. So they have an area
an area representative that could come out and um minutes. It's an hourong session. They educate the seniors about fraud about different scams and all that. They would love to come out and bring it out and they are willing to bring out food, provide
breakfast or lunch. You guys want it? Yes. Definitely. That Yes. Yeah. We generally what day is that? Well, they're they said in September or October. So I'm going to work with them and we want them because they give Do I need emotion? Do I ask them to do it on the weekend?
Do I ask them to do it on the weekday? Does it matter to you guys? Whatever it's convenient. Well, they are giving you guys everything else for free. That's not weekday. So you prefer weekday, but now are you guys flexible for weekend? I used to work I used to work
for them week. Okay. I'm going to make a motion that TD Bank is going to sponsor and do a safety presentation. Safety presentation. Second. Perfect. Any comments? You don't have a date yet. No, but I will share with you.
Any comments? It's important. I got a I got a something on my phone saying that I had an appointment. Please confirm for the police department and what is this? And then that night on TV it was saying if you get anything like
this hold on for the toll my mom calls me all the time mom you didn't pay a fee. Mom, it's automatic. You'll get text messages from those are all It doesn't matter. They're going to keep doing it and they they keep answering and just because it's I keep looking. It
says presentation bingo. I know but it's miss Oh, sorry. Yeah. Yeah, it's miss. Yeah. No, it's it own it's going to be its own standalone 1 hour session and it'll be here in council of Taylor. You like to comment on that? Okay, hold on. Wait, cuz she mentioned it.
I know. Okay, go ahead. Make a comment. That's Go ahead. Go ahead. that is so prevalent right now. And as smart as I am, I have to look two, three times. Did I do this? And go back and check my work. The bottom line is
I'm not that old yet to believe everything I'm saying on the phone. Maybe we need to do something with the elderly. We did again. Perhaps we can do it out of bingo. Well, this lady they're going to do it.
So TD Bank's going to do it. Okay. So now that's what they're discussing. The bingo. We're set up for the bingo, right? And then one. Okay. So now moving on. I forgot to mention to you guys for the bingo. Just a reminder, we come back um August. What is it? Next week, Thursday, August
Thursday, August 21st. Uh reminder that the bingos were moved to 10:30, right? Um I didn't see any invoice from you guys, so I went ahead and I booked in QC. How did How did that bingo sell out? so fast because I have they love it.
This is I want to touch base just since we're going back into this. I already had a senior complain to me and upset at me that what was I doing that I was only letting people that they always say guys the thing opens either at midnight or 7 a.m. I don't remember that. The seniors wake up. The
seniors wake up and they log in and they call I cannot control. But event but event bright said not on sale yet and they're used to like two weeks before the rule used to be two weeks before but in the meantime Maria sent
out that um text that the bingo was already sent out and I've had people come but it sold out within 3 hours of it opening. I know because it didn't open at 7 a.m. By 10:00 a.m. it was sold out. Oh, okay.
So, I had a call at 11:00 a.m. from a senior complaining to me about what I was doing and withholding the list. Go ahead. Why, you know how we always have extra money and we're buying sometimes extra cards? No, I don't. Can't you just make it then two more tables? Just make them
because if we do two then we'll have to do three and we have to get four. It doesn't matter the amount. You got to do more lunches. and they still complain. I mean, they don't matter. I'm just refreshing my We used to do what? 80. We used to 80. Now we're doing 100.
100. Now we do 125. We don't. As a reminder, which is what I tell all seniors, then they're still not happy about it. But I'm just making you guys aware because you guys are the um the lady was mad because she couldn't get on the list. I told her, "You're still welcome to come, right?
Always. We will pay you in. we just can't confirm the lunch until the hundred that signed up get their lunches first. She was not happy with my answer. Um I'm just letting you know and I had told them the same thing when
they called me. ES were full, but if you want to come and then they're completely but how you told me today. I don't even know how many people fit in that. At this point, we have never now given. But what they wanted, what this lady wanted to know was when does it go on?
Is it the two weeks before? Yes, it is. It's still the two weeks before, but they called me at 11. So, they were upset that by 11 it was so I can't control that 100 people signed up before. People saw it and they got on the computer. That's they didn't have one last month.
So as soon as they saw it, they went crazy. You know, any they're going to do like a chicken moho roll, like a sandwich, and they're going to do a cookie on the side. And did they do a portion? The only thing is I do need someone to pick it up at 10:30. Are any of you
available? I don't mind doing it. I mean, how much is that? Well, it depends. My husband's not with I can't see. So, all we do is lunches. I would always give a sandwich.
Yeah, that's Go ahead. Sandwiches. I suggest we go back to our two bingos a month during the summer. We We can't afford it. We always We've been since the day I started this committee. We have always you have money. She technically budget wise you guys can
afford it. However, LGBT affairs is very good at getting sponsored. So, you guys are usually fine. We can get a sponsor. We can have But here's the Yeah. I mean, it doesn't matter. It's not It's not up to me. It's up to you guys. I'll just I'll mention that the last time you guys didn't want to do go back to two months cuz I know we've talked about it
recently. The concern was that then the volunteers are going to have to take care of us second. No, no. I I really I'm here all the time and so is you and so is Jackie and so guys, we can put a motion on the floor. That's
I think that if we have time I think honestly if we have time to do something different than a bingo. Oh, I think that's what you guys do. That's why you guys I think one bingo is enough. I'm sorry, daddy. From now on, I'm giving your numbers out.
Every time I see somebody, I have to go to Hia to go to a You can put a motion forward. You're a committee member. They already said no. No. Put the motion. Put the motion cuz when somebody calls me, I'm going to tell them this is wilderly affairs
committee, not me. I'd like to make make a motion, guys. We have a motion on it. I'd like to make a motion that we go back to our two bingos a month. It's something we've had since the start and we've always had a plenty of people there to help and it's something they love. Okay.
There's something activities. Let's see. Do we have a second? A second. Okay. So, the motion on the floor. We have a second comments. I I wasn't here. So, why was it taken off? Just to have a Because instead they started doing field trips.
And we do at least that was the discussion at the time. No. Right. And on top of that, the people that go volunteer are the same people. Car love% property owner. But other people like me just because you can't go doesn't mean we can't hand
it. I mean, well, let's see what he says. Anybody else? Any other discussion? This is the time to talk Nancy. I think it's a great idea if the people feel comfortable enough to only complain
to daddy, we should act on that. Bring it up at the next bingo or whatever you want to do and ask them if we have add another bingle. Let them help us decide. Well, the seniors have been very bring
it up and and rather have two as one at a time when I'm sorry I'm sorry. But then if you have two bingos, are you going to take away like him trying to the playhouse the movie? Yes. Because we don't have time or money for everything.
What's the what's what's the budget per bingo? Like how much do we spend right now? You guys are doing 1300 per bingo. So you guys are limiting 10 per $10 per person. Every single has been sponsored too. Well, most well most of them most
money how much we're spending. Did we have a phone? But Nancy, I can tell you the numbers right now. It's a decision on the committee. the the I understand you're saying right now the numbers you're using are serving a specific lunch. Maybe if the lunches are
changed just we're going to have to discuss make everybody happy. No, no, no. Well, that's it. We have to let me just finish the sentence. Okay, we don't even have to vote. My thought is you keep two bingos, you cheapen the
meal by making a sandwich rather than something that's been more expensive. Work on that aspect. You got a lot of new restaurants that might give you different rates than what we're paying right now. More expensive. So, you're a gonna cut down on anything.
You don't know that for sure. You got a brand new You got a brand new restaurant that wants to do something. They say, "Look, even if we do it for a year, we'll give you a sandwich and one of these and you provide the coffee and the drinks for such and such an amount. I
will do that for you for my first year of business." The advertising vote people, but you're saying no. Right now, it's it's it's not her decision. you people. That's what I'm saying. Is there another comment and and and we're not even
thinking or entertaining the idea of having a vote on it? Nancy, we have I just through the chair if I could just have you. I just wanted to have my say. Yes, that's perfect. Anybody else need to make a comment so we can then take it
to a vote. Any other comment this motion? Okay, Jack motions quickly. Repeat the motions. The bingo has always been fun. Always been fun. I've always been involved personally, but we have introduced
diversion differences to the bingo. We've made field trips, we've made movies, now we've got air day. I think that's a wonderful alternative to two bingos a week a month
as opposed I in support of doing a bingo and something else. Exactly. Okay. Any other comments? I have a question. So we can go to vote. But we pay for the Robert Alonso. No we don't. Go ahead comment. Okay. So, how about then you do a motion that says
the day that the month that we don't have two events, the second event can be a bingo. I don't care. Go ahead. The day that since nobody wants to really tie themselves. Well, I don't know what we don't know what the vote is going to be. Okay. My mo my vote was that we have two bingos a month.
Okay. So, that's the And if somebody wants to change it, go ahead. That that's independent of the field trips. Her motion is just to have two bingos in one. more seniors can attend that than any other event because some of them and this is another subject. Most of them can't get on the bus to go to other clubs, right?
And so this they all can't say anything because it's an opportunity for them to go because we got the bus that runs around and they got people that drop them off and it's something they all love. Just so we're not going back and forth about the same thing. Are we done with discussion or any last discussion?
One last thing. We can't speak because we're all not old enough to speak. The elderly with the exception of Guys, I will ask you to let me finish. Let me know. I'm just reminding myself.
So, my suggest my suggestion is perhaps we put this. We got a bingo coming up or something coming up with the elderly. Say to them, look, we're deciding, do you want to have two? They don't work it. Why would we ask them? We're the ones that gonna be
working. Well, I can tell you the seniors have been vocal that they do. We know that they're coming to D. Yes. But tell them then we have to eliminate a bus trip or this. But she doesn't say that cuz that may
not be correct. We'll see who we can to do one bingo and the trumps and these other things. I mean the motion on the table if I if I could have all of you the motion on the
table is independent of the field trips right now the one that is currently standing the secretary right what is the motion the motion that was made by Donnie was to have a second bingo that's it that's the motion so if you vote yes you are in favor yes you want two bingo if you vote no you're not
ready to vote on a second bingo all right so all in favor yes raise your hands please so we have body There you go. Is that a yes? Cuz I need She needs to know for a minute. Or you can or you can see I guess
it's it's either bingos one bingo and one other event. Okay. So you're saying guys to discussion discussion voting. We are voting. So Da are yes.
All against no. Who's voting no right now? I need to know. Okay, because you need to know this for Keep your hands up, please. We're not going to eliminate anything else. No. Um, we're gonna add Rosario and I
Sarah and Jackie goes and Jackie. All right. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven. Three, three, four, five, six, seven. Perfect. So, we have seven nos. We have two yeses and one abstain, which is me.
Sometimes. So, motion fails. I'm going to remind you guys of Robert's rules really quickly. For 6 months, this item cannot be brought back. Okay. So, maybe we can now that the year is starting, take a look at how things are going and then bring it back.
I'm not bringing that voted. You're bringing it up. I'm reminding you guys. You guys are No, no, no. You guys are as committee members need to be aware of the rules. So I'm just reminding not I it's not my job to educate you guys on the rules that have been
the rules have always been the same. I didn't just give you the rules. If you guys are not aware of your rules, that's not weed at 7:07. Oh, we are the seven of seven I said Marin. [Music]
