Well, moving on. Order of business. Are there any deferrals, additions, or deletions? Anybody? No. I would say If if we could just put like the karate program just so we can talk
that we were there. I mean there we could just talk about it there. Yeah, we're going to talk about all the programs. Okay. Okay. So now moving on to public comments.
We have to online. Yeah. So if we speak at the same time speak together okay don't say anything for the record. Yeah. So hi I'm Alexa. I'm Virginia Lena.
Wait a E L A and Virginia like state and uh L A D E I R A. L A D E I R E. Okay. Sorry. Okay. It's okay. Okay. So, we're both here on behalf of
the Gigi's Playhouse chapter here in Miami Lakes. So, the Gigi's Playhouse opened up a new youth advisory board where basically we have a group of volunteer students that are here to help provide to the organization and do all we can to support and engage more of the youth here in Miami Lakes. So, I am the
director of outreach and the vice president and we're here to try to make some collaboration with the municipal government here at Miami Lakes. I thought it would be most appropriate to speak with the special needs evaluatory committee to talk about any events that we do or hope for hope that we get any
sponsorships from the town where maybe we can bring in our own volunteers and even advocate together more at events. So like she said, we're really passionate about uh GG's Playhouse. I personally have been volunteering with the organization for uh many years and
we really think it's important to not only increase outreach and increase like volunteers within Miami Lakes but also to support the organization. So we wanted to reach out to see if there was any um any ways we could collaborate like she said with the town um and plan events, see if we could um have
representation at already planned events to increase support for GPS. So, for example, events like the Halloween events, movie nights, although they might not be the job of your committee, anything that we could help participate in where we can do outreach, get more volunteers for us, and even provide our
own volunteers and some other youth that we have contacts with. Anything helps, and we're really just looking for collaboration with the government. That's great. Do you have a list or would it be possible to send us? So, I mean, we know, you know, we we love JD's
Playhouse. Um um and we participate in a lot of the events, but could you send us a list of all the upcoming events that you guys are maybe working on? Yeah, of course. We'll um reach out and make sure we have the finalist with our president and then we'll we'll reach out. Is there like an email that we can send it to? Uh yes, that would be mine.
Thank all of us. Have you reached out to um the town yet? Yeah, we've sent a few emails asking for like vendor spots like just booths at like for example the market and the Halloween night. So yeah, we've been in contact a little bit but not too much.
So you want to come in person. Now are you offering to volunteer or do your own events? Mostly volunteer and have outreach to the youth that attend the events and maybe in the future have our own events as well would be nice. Yeah. But for now any sort of to
Okay. So, you have to talk to the town because we go through our liaison when we need volunteers. So, that's great. As long as they make sure they have your information. Yeah. Could you let me know the email? So, yes. Um, I'm trying to pull it up here so it's a bit easier because my last
name's a bit here. Do you want to take a picture of it here? Yeah, I got it. I know. Yeah, you can scan here and do business. I need to get one of these doodle business cards. They're so cool. very practical.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. So, we have two on uh Zoom, so I'm gonna ask Jessica to unmute. Hi. I'm gonna actually come off of video, too. Oh, okay.
Give you access. Oh, don't worry. It doesn't matter. You could just look at my name, but it doesn't matter. We want to see you. Oh, trust. No, you do not want to. I mean, you can see me, but you know. Okay. Okay. You should have access if you want to.
It's not required. All right. All right. All right. Let's see. Let me see. Hold on. At the end of the day, I am a boomer. Select the camera. There we go. Okay. Jackpot. Hi, everybody. Hi, Jessica.
Um, good good um evening. Yeah, good evening everyone. My name is Jessica Tore and I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank the town of Miami Lakes and this committee for helping bring Sensei back to our community. Um,
for many of us, Sensei's presence goes far beyond martial arts. It represents structure, discipline, confidence, and community. Honestly, for our children and families, it's been the biggest gift for the past 2 years. And all of you
sitting there have other lives and the fact that you're sitting there and trying to make our town better really matters. You really do make a difference. Particularly in my life and in my son's life. Um Sensei's program really gives him a sense of respect,
purpose. He's so different when he goes to karate and I am eternally grateful that you guys were able to facilitate bringing him back to us. I know I was obnoxious with the text. Vivian is going to probably
like block me, but whatever. I'm very grateful. I am very humbled. And I wanted just to take a moment to thank you all for everything you do and know that you are making a very big difference. So I am very grateful to
each one of you and the town as well. That's all I add. That really moves me. people like each one of you make all of the difference in the world. So, I am very humbled to live in this community and to have you guys around. And Franco
is loving karate even though I have to I went today to go get him another whatever I call it costume. My husband's like, "Do not call it a costume. It's not a costume." Whatever. Like, get them. I got him in one. But thank you guys. Truly from the bottom of my heart,
you guys really make a difference. You're a big deal. And for that I will adjourn. If you need anything, I am here to serve. I actually sent Vivian um something by email regarding the mayor's
gala that we'd love to help out and you can count on my support for anything you guys might need. Thank you, Jessica. All right. Bye, guys. Have a good evening. Bye. Thank you. All right. Oh my god.
I'm asking Lauren to unmute. Is she with She looks so Good evening everyone. I'm actually with the Deoya Foundation. I was invited to participate in today's meeting by one of your committee liaison, Isabella.
Hi. Yes, that's me. Hi. How are you? Hi. How are you? Okay. so um she told me that you were interested in having us come down and do uh a workshop or a presentation um and so that you would like to talk to
me. Um I had suggested a workshop because they told me that both parents and um young adults with unique abilities would be present at this meeting. In that case, I said that most likely a presentation regarding our
services in our program would be the easiest. Uh the reason that I say this is because our workshops cater to young adults with unique abilities, their levels of functioning and are very um
let's say independent living focused. So either the parents should would not benefit. I feel that either they would not be in attendance, they would just drop off the young adults and then we can focus on specific topics. If they are going to be present, then we
can talk about our program and I'm open to your feedback. Okay. Do you remember um the vice mayor like his exact request? Did he have like I have the wording here. I did really good notes. I'm just saying
Vice Mayor Morera asked us to do a jobs skills seminar in October for disability awareness month looking to partner with the Demoa Foundation and see if town hall would be available on set dates. Okay. So you're looking for what exactly
if you're talking about job skills seminar? Yes. Um are you talking about um interview skills? Uh will that include something that would help me help the the adults with special needs in the
community be able to um whether it's go find a job or maybe get an internship or I mean that's at least how I understood it from speed. I mean I guess the first step would be to learn about their services. Yeah.
Because that is one of their services, right? That's what we do. Yes. Yeah. Now, could we talk a little bit about interview skills? Sure, we can do that. Um, can we talk about preparing for an interview? You know, yes, we could talk
a little bit about that. And, um, we would put something together that would be for this seminar. Um, how much time are we talking about? So that I'm [Music]
well we had a list of dates to see which ones would be available probably I have October 14 23 and 28th but I think October 14 was not available that was the planning and zoning yeah and October 14th is just way too
close my understanding was October 28th I believe was the date you gave me Yeah. Is that a Is that open for you? I mean, yes. I would have to move something around, but I think we can still make that work. I I could we could
do that. Okay. Wait till we get to own business, too. Uh, yes. Yes. If you have any questions for the foundation right now since she's here on public comments. Okay. Um would you have any uh visuals
or anything that you would bring in for the presentation? Yes, we would have um uh decka slides that I would use for the for the presentation. Okay. And how long is is your presentation? That would that really would depend on
you. Generally I would a presentation would be an hour because when I work with um young adults more than an hour seems to distract to them. So I wouldn't go more than an hour. Yeah. Not no more than an hour.
Yeah. And that would also um leave time. Well, I mean if they have questions in between or after then you can add on another 15 minutes to that. What time would it be good? Um for me I'm say well generally what time do you
do this? I mean afternoon morning. No afternoon early evening. Okay. So we're talking what? 5:30 or 6 o'clock. We we reserve 6 to 8:30. So 6:30 7 o'clock. Yeah.
Okay. 6 o'clock. We're talking 6 or 7 6:30. Um 6:30 is better. 630 is okay. 10:28 6:30 p.m. We're looking at uh 1hour presentation.
Presentation on uh job skills. Correct. Yes. Including an intro of our services. Correct. Yes.
All right. I think I can put that together for you. And it would be you doing it? Uh, most likely yes, most likely I'll be the one doing I am the training coordinator for the De Moya Foundation. Awesome. So if it is not me in the end, I will
let you know with sufficient time, but most likely yes, it would be me. What do you need from us? Um, I just need um I will have my laptop with me. So, I would assume just uh USB
connection somewhere to project and we should be good. Does your laptop have HDMI capabilities if you know? Yes. I mean, I have a Mac. Okay. Oh, MacBooks don't have HDM. Okay. I can work with it to see what we can work out. If anything, you might send
the presentation to me in advance and that way we can have it on our ends and project it like that and then you have some type of clicker. So, we'll figure that out. We can do that too. That can work. So for this particular presentation it would be okay for the parents to also
come. Um, yes. I mean, it wouldn't be really geared towards them, but yes, I mean, to understand our services, do the intro. Um, they would benefit, I assume, for some of the information, but I I really like to keep the information at
the level of understanding of the young adults because uh that's how we empower them and support them. No question. No question. Thank you so much for taking Not at all. Okay. So, Isabella, you will
let me know. You and I will continue to coordinate the last details. You can contact me. Oh, I have one more question. Is there is there a fee for the presentation? No, there's no fee for our presentation. It's our pleasure. Thank you so much. Not at all.
Good night. Have a great meeting. So, we're done with the public comments. Yes. Okay. So approval of And it's very Hey. Hello everyone. Sorry about my delay.

motions. One to open and then one to actually add it last month. Didn't you say that as long as it was you could do it all in one as long as it wasn't um cuz even we did that for money too. Didn't we say like okay I make a motion
to add D and give this this much money out of social. I I think because this one specifically is to reopen it. Okay. I think here it might be separate. I don't know. Is it better? Because I think what you mean is like
okay um I motion to be part of this event and allocate $700. But that's like the same thing. But I think in this case we're reopening. Oh to me it's the same thing. I'm reopening then at the back.

But that's that's the way I'm thinking it should be. Okay. And then over here we just motion to open. I added and we voted and that was it. Okay. So I'm not sure. I'll reward this one because the other ones are correct.

I second. All those in favor? I. Okay. Okay. Go. All right. Uh program updates. All right. Let's start with the dance class. Uh, Miss Audrey and I ordered the costumes
and accessories for the performance for the 25th anniversary um on Saturday. Uh, not everything. Okay. Not everything. We're still uh
waiting that the boys are going to wear. But the girls costumes, they were like we got them on Amazon and they're running out of sizes, so we had to like order them on Saturday while we were in dance class. So those have been ordered.
Um what else? Okay. Um the karate program. Yes, it's back. Parents are very happy. Um Jesse and I went to the class and
the parents were ecstatic. I mean, all the feedback that we were getting. Um, so I really want to I don't want to lose uh sensei.
Um, so I was thinking of cuz I was talking to him and he, you know, the whole thing with um the location he wanted to make a change and like so
you know apparently he's kind of like breaking even so I was thinking we could raise his rate a little bit to keep him happy keep him here you know the the kids love him the
parents love him so um you know we kind of uh Last year we kind of um raised you know the the amounts for Gigi's Playhouse for
the cooking class for um arts for autis I mean not arts for autism for hope for autism you know so cuz everything is going up so do we know by how much could we vote on that now
yeah that's what I'm going to do when I bring up the motion so right now how many kids we're The class right now we have well at the last class there was seven kids I think there was five that was five five
well there was kids that were out day it should have been six but then yeah so I'm not sure yeah that was that's what I was going to say about um we still have spots available yeah there are spots available I had front flyers at the dance class uh this
Saturday. So hopefully um word of mouth you have you will be the one cuz I handed out the flyers which have your email. Was it 10 or 12 of the class?
I think up to 12. So we have six. Can Can we Can we um put it on the website? Like not the website, I'm sorry. on like social media uh about like there being openings for
the class or Correct. Okay. Yes. I I think I mean Yeah. I I I think it's important because but we have to make sure we clarify that it's for special needs. Okay. Touchless. Yeah. Because as many of you know if you don't
know, the town no longer has a karate class. Yeah. And there's a lot of talk about why why why we don't want them to get confused, right? But I think you might get people angry like oh how come mine my son was
cancelled but not this one. So how many spots are you trying to fill? Six spots. Six. And uh and right now how much we we giving sunset? Right now it's 125 per class per class.
Yeah. So, I was thinking about And we do uh how many classes a week? Well, two a week. So, eight a month. Eight months on average. If there's five weeks and 10 or there's a holiday, there's eight month.
Yeah. I'm sorry. So I well we could have waited for discussion but so he said he was breaking even because he's driving from 87 to 57. No that's not the reason but that that was like
that's part of why they're like implementing these rules of keeping you know of having a radius that they don't want to go over. You know obviously they made an exception for us and everything. Yeah. Um, but yes, like everything in
the past two years, everything's more expensive. Yeah, we've kept the same price throughout. So, I I I Is he going to still be looking for alternate uh location? No. Or is he going to be happy staying there? No, he's happy now. Okay. He's happy now. And he signed the
contract, so he's under contract. But I also remember I also remember I also remember that he was trying to say temporary temporary everything was temporary and I want to clarify the location is fine. Yeah. And and something I want to say
the contract is signed to to add um to what Vivian was saying, the first three that got there, the the students, they went in and they went straight and they were ready. Like he hadn't even like nothing. They were so
so excited. They were ready for this. Oh my gosh. Like I saw that and I'm like they were I mean they're like right here like you my gosh I mean the classes are going to be rewarding.
I mean that's something that you are giving to them. It's positive for them. So so don't and we need to feel proud of what we're doing because that's making a difference in their life. Okay. So like Vivian say you know for
the teacher I can give you my if you have someone that is good is willing to give those classes and the kids love them I don't see why we're not raising the price make him happy that he can come
back stay but that's not what we're saying we're not saying that we don't want to do it all same we're not saying it's just we're clarifying because he made it clear temporary This is this is going to make it happy. Okay. Now,
so if he if he has a location and then he's happy with the location, not changing the location, the contract is signed, then we should all agree to just increase the price. Okay. So, I'm going to go ahead with my motion, which is to increase from 125 to
150 for costs. I second. All those in favor? I I motion passes. How many weeks are They're like ongoing pretty much the whole time except like Christmas and the
summer except like you know holidays but did someone volunteer to blitz and say no you'll have to invoice us to increase pricing for finance. Does he have to sign a new contract? H
do you have to sign a new contract with a new price? You can believe so, but I'll check on that. Um invoice. I don't know. The contract says the amount. It says the amount. We got to fix I'm sure he'll have no problem.
Okay. Oh, and uh Okay. So one more thing uh with the karate class I also thought um remember after like on the first year we did like a little party um for them after the first class. Yeah.
Right. after like the first semester or whatever. Um, so we're already on our second year and I thought it'd be nice to do like another little celebration, maybe purchase some trophies or medals, you
know, to have like another, you know, just like a celebration to uh reward the kids. And where would that be? Um, I don't know. I would have to uh
talk it over with Sensei to see if uh you know what date he thinks it will be good. Like I don't know when he's going to end for the Christmas break. I think it'd be nice to do it like before we break for Christmas. Um
and uh so I I wanted to make a motion to allocate um $1,000 for trophies and food and stuff.
Should we pay 700? It's okay. I mean, if we don't think All right. All right. So, I make a a motion to um to allocate $1,000 out of
the community programs. Oh, no. It would be social recreation. Yeah. Party. Party. Social and recreation. $1,000 for the karate end of year celebration. a second. I already did.
All those in favor? I And if I didn't, just in case I Okay. So, all right. Uh, next up is animation
class. Oh, okay. Okay. So, uh there's a couple new students in the animation class. Um and uh Catherine wasn't there this past
Saturday cuz she wasn't feeling well. So, I I need to pick a date with her for like that uh little graduation party. So, that's ending. But uh we got time.
Yeah, sometime in November cuz this uh semester is going to be a little bit longer. Okay. But the class is full. Um we had a little hiccup on the first class cuz they didn't have any anything
set up, but this past class everything was set up. So that's going well. All right. Um, so next up is Anybody have any questions about the programs?
Okay. Uh, mayor's gala update. Um, I got a couple of sponsors. So, um, other than that, the tickets are not up for sale yet. I know that a uh save
the date was sent out for September 14th. November I mean November 14th. Um Oh, yeah. Individual sales are not up yet.
No, they're still trying to uh sell the tables to the sponsors, right? I'm trying to get some gift cards. I try to get some for my therapy please. If anybody else um get any sponsors
I'm um just an update regarding the man. So um I'm working on I have an incentive right now where I've been talking to a lot of local all the restaurants. So I have been putting out the feelers for the gift cards. Um,
uh, Josh, uh, Diez approved, uh, the Trellis Cottage and, um, VA custom designs to have another, you know, display thing. Um, I'm going to be out of town. I wish, like, I hate
hate missing the Maritella. I'm going to be out of town, but I already put my husband to work. I he already took the day off from UPS. So I'm like you're going to be there and you're going to be the representative for the cottage and you know we always give back a percent of the proceeds but in this case for
mayors we always do 100% for mayor's gallow so 100% of proceeds and I don't know what Drew is doing but Drew said something as well that he would give back. So that's the update but I am working on gift cards specifically. Okay.
All right. So, next up, special needs safety programs. You have any update? Deputy deputies? Well, we haven't had any uh new registrants, but um we had a um a call the other day. Um one of the deputies
found a young child that was wandering and he was on the spectrum. So they got me the information and to make contact with the family. So he's not on the register. The whole report he's not on and he was in our town.
I'm waiting for the program the I'm sorry the report to be uh finalized so I can get it so I can make contact. The I heard the call. So they they advised them that I would get to make contact and the mom was extremely open to it. So because they they they were able to get
him back home super quick. is a close neighborhood. You know, they they saw the value of, you know, we would have had women in the um in the registry, it would have been old already who we would. And we still don't have access to day county
schools, right? Does Bob Graham has a population, but MLK not so much, but Bob Graham does. But MLK, they they don't have as much, but there are Okay. Oh, I know. Yeah. So
I remember we we tried and I I'll I'll look into that and see how we can You mean to like apply? Mhm. Drop off a fire. My understanding that it has to be approved by the district.
So I don't know what that process is. I don't know if anybody in the education advisory board would know or could help us with that. I don't know. Anybody wouldn't be a problem, but I don't know.
want to mention something. The the citiz crime watch, they have the RAD program and they have the kids the RAD programs and they're like they they went through all the red tape at in downtown with education and they
were able to get it so that any school that wants to do it, they can go to the school and they don't have to go back to downtown LA. Well, I think that would be the the way for you guys to, you know, once you're in, that's it. Then just as
you jump around, okay, we're you have access, you were given clearance because they they it's so easy for them to do everything. They just show up at the school. So, yeah, we've been better already. We're good. And if you want to sell the program, we can sell the program. You're going to have to go downtown and ask this and that. But
that's a blanket and that's probably countywide. It is countywide. Ours will be limited to Miami. went on even if it's just messaging only my legs but it would be good to because like we spoken before like even certain events
like the 4th of July or we have you know s you know there's things that we can promote within the town um for me to have this already yeah I know we we spoke about it we tried if you know I remember Tra was helping with that and it kind I just
went back and forth the state, but I'll see you when I can find out. That's nice. Okay. Um, I think you um because I keep writing every report officer
and I'm trying to I think I'm having a blonde moment because I'm even asking Chad GBT what's the difference between officer and deputy. Is your title still officer Amador or is it like you don't call someone deputy Almador? The only difference is that you have a sheriff. The police department
is an officer. Okay. The sheriff's department is a deputy and Okay. We're now sheriff. We're now officially on paper. We were always a sheriff, but officially the verbiage now is sheriff. So is now
wait right. No, not a set of you say we lakes t the member of the town so contracts. Okay. Okay. Deputy Amador is the title. Okay.
Because you see I keep writing officer by now. I'm just reading. All right. Um, thank you. Thank you, deputies. All right, so next up we have the inclusive job interview and skills
seminar. All right, so it looks like this is a go. So we need to a flyer. That's exactly what I remember here. Flyers. So it was 6:30 on October 28th. Yeah, is that what I heard? Okay. And here town
hall chambers town hall 6:30 to 7:30 but we have it reserved ready for 6 to 8 I haven't put anything in the calendar because there's three dates so I'll put it in now please yeah we're going to get it from 6 so we
can set up start at 6:30 if I'm not mistaken we already allocate allocated money to this I believe so $500 $500 from the training Perfect. Yeah. Yeah.
So, if we could get a flyer, uh, yes. And on the event request form for each of those chairs. And I think um to be I'm thinking to be added on there too. Would we add like their logo too or no? Because then their
name is going to be on. You know what I mean, right? Yeah. I it depends on how they um our marketing assigns it. So I let them know so because I know they have their logo. So
I don't know if that's I hate to ask. Go ahead. I was going to say like how we also have to be mindful of the wording that we use
so that it's understood. I always, you know, are come up with the wording so that it's understood. Yeah. So, it's understood that this is for it's okay.
The special population, not not for everybody. It's not like it's not another small business. Who can Right. I'm wondering if oh for youth right for young adults you can we put something like that like for
the month of disability we will be having in honor of disability something like that we're going to have a workshop a workshop for our special needs writing it all down you can say if you have a if you have a kid with
special need this is a Great workshop. You invited to this amazing workshop. Yeah. Presented by that young adult be a young adult leaders in employing training young adults
unique abilities language. Yeah. And they might already have something. I I would think because I'm sure that there's other flyers that they probably you know Google Deoya Foundation job
summer to kind of get an idea of how they normally present it cuz maybe that would also because it's if it's worth before then we could just say in collaboration with demo I'm fine with that collaboration partn yeah
whatever because they're the ones doing the workshop yeah No, they have like their name also. Okay, now I hate to ask this list Isabella. No, I think so. Sorry. Go on.
No, I think we started talking at the same time. Um like sh making sure we share it with like M card, you know that we share it because then they can we need to promote it now. As soon as it flyers done, we got we have no time. We got to promote it. So they can promote
it also parent to parent if if it's a free thing parent to parent will also do it because they write it down. Yeah. Have to do it. Yeah. Yes.
Should we say anything about the about snacks? No. People might show up just for free. Yeah. I I always like trust me. I always show up for food. Yeah. I I always like putting food. Doesn't matter what it is.
What are you having though? What are you doing? I was just saying if you want to. I'm just saying you might get people that are not necessarily social for correct. But then it might be the other way around. You're attracting people. It goes both ways. But like snacks will be provided.
Light snacks, not light snacks. Refresh. Yeah. Light snacks will be provided. So, we're not offering blending like snacks and refreshments. Okay. So, for the actual presentation, is there any key words or language you'd
like us to use? Uh, inclusive job interviewing skills seminar. Is that what we're calling it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, learn about moisture program. Learn about interview skills.
October like what it's called. I think it's much more like I like the thing of like an observance of uh October disability awareness month. Was that
kind of like Latino? Yes. Discipline awareness. Discipline employment awareness. National [Music] is actually national. It's not just like Yeah.
Yeah. I want to shorten it. And the I think in general is a bit Oh my god, I forgot about what's not on here. We need to reopia's [Music]
now the the board. Communication board. Oh, right. I thought it was on there. Okay. Are we done then? So, I can ask my question.
Yes. Hate to do it. But are we going to be able to use the tables? The tables. Tables or chairs? Because my understanding is if we have if we need tables or chairs, the staff
will no longer be bringing over stuff. We would have to rent it according to my other community. Right. It would have to be the in-house quantity. So depending on how many tables and chairs you all required, we did. Exactly. Yeah. Not other place. No, cuz you're having the event here.
So, we have tables and chairs here. If you require more than what's here, then you would need to do rentals. Yeah. Let's clarify. But I don't think you want to table or to set up like the food and so for this event.
Don't forget a podium for the mic. Even though she didn't say I need mic, but you need to need a mic. I think it's always best because if there's someone in the back and they're talking then shh, can you sh I can't hear. So it's better.
Okay. Um well that's the release, right? Yes. So October fest. Hello. Okay. Uh, originally
it Ptober is October 14th, this Friday. It's this Saturday 11. Yes. Mhm. We'll be okay. Um, unfortunately, Ethan's not able to make it. Was anybody else interested in going? We did not get a table. So, there
is no real commitment of us being there. I was planning on going and wearing the polo, but after I finish at the store because I have no I don't have it. covering. So, it's till 3 2 and I get out at 1:00. So, I was just
going to pass by the support in the 10:00 to 2:00. Okay. Till 2. So, I'm literally going to be there for less than an hour, but I would be there and I'll take a picture. Yeah, I'm sure she I don't have a dog, but I already talked to her. I said,
"Hey, I'll go." But yeah, I know when I come to the store. And also on the same day, the public safety committee's card for bureaus. I sent an email. Yeah, that's at 5:00 that day. So, if anyone wants to show up in the committee, we're all free. I imagine we won't be having a table.
It's family friendly, right? If I go, I'm going to take the kids. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's family friendly. You didn't you didn't you did you respond to tell them what you want table? Yeah. I mean, we're meeting it's just an invite. Okay. Yeah. No table.
Nothing. The mental health festival um the mental mental health fall festival is going to be saved. Um I'm talking about the date.
Uh October 18th. Yes. this Saturday. No, next Saturday. So many Saturday. Um, we just thought just two members are
going to show up for the snap polos. I don't remember if Ethan was one. I think he was. Yeah, he's here. So, just to keep in mind since we're not going to meet, October 18th will be the mental health ball festival. We do not
have a table, but if we could attend, wear your clothes, say hi. How are you? Eat their food. How are you? We're going to be there. Sorry. You're on a roll. Notoc
mental health to a busy 10 to2. Yeah. 10 to 10 to two. Veterans Park. The Ptover is not Veterans Park. No, that's Cove. Yeah. What else?
Pto Fest. Is that K9? Yes. Yeah. October Fest. Yeah. cuz it's sorry. See, I'm glad I'm glad I said I mean she wasn't going any but yeah, you never know. You know how she triple books. I donated I donated uh
actually my dog on the I'm telling you I know you I donated bango my dog shirts. Oh my god. In different sizes. So there's going to be various chinosas or little chin furry chinas. I would say
that is very [Music] light pets. I love I'm sorry. I love looking more than my kids do. I gig is my spirit and Oh, are we done then with that? All
right. So, I move to reop for the third time the order of business. I second. All those in favor? I Okay. So, I'm going to add um
the park feature. I make a motion to add card feature as 6 I and the hope for autism fashion show as 6J.
I second. All those in favor? I Okay, so the park feature. So Jeremy got back to me for the communication board. Um, did you guys get a take a look at it? Sent it. Um,
in the agenda email. Oh, really? Yes. I um I still haven't gotten a quote back. Um, no, we have a quote. Oh, okay. No, but you had asked everybody to get quotes. So, but but Jeremy got I Perfect. Okay. They probably have better
prices for I have sent it to Jeremy and he So anyway, it's going to be uh it's going to be $5,000. Okay. So, or more depending on um delivery and
labor to set it up. So, 5,000 the estimate. All right. Sorry. It's going to be uh Veterans Park. Hold on. Place it on veterans. Digital. Can you do you guys need to see the want to see the picture?
Pull it up on her. Yeah. Um that is me. So we do we would have to go to the council to like present. Yeah.
And and the money would have to be moved to parks and rep. We would have to ask Okay. permission to that like for the to be moved to one of their line items. I'm confused why not I'm not saying it in a negative way. I'm just legitimately
confused not just with us but some like why sometimes we have to get approval from them and sometimes we don't. The amount if it's over a certain amount over 700 and if we haven't done it but what about a thousand? We just did a thousand. If we've done it before,
we're okay. Like the program is a program we have already. So it's just for example before, but if we're doing something brand new that we've never done and it's over 700, we do have to go but not a brand new event like in an
event. We've done events before. So brand new, brand new. It's a brand new event. We've never done it. We have it. Would game night be a brand brand new event? So don't you guys need to add that too? Yeah, we don't have We haven't voted on cuz nothing has really been we've spoken about it but
nothing has been like um proposed per se or we don't have anything and I did have news about the location but that was deferred till next meeting anyway so we'll talk about it then the location. Oh you you're bringing it up. Yep.
Oh good because I'm reading this I'm trying to figure it out. there. [Music] Is it just [Music]
Yeah. Let me see off your email. Yeah. I'm not logged into email right now and I'm right communication board. Yep. That it's a link. It's in the email. I'll log in.
Really quickly. So, we would have to vote on it now like for us to take it to the council, right? To allocate that money. Uh, yes. You're not scheduled for Corporal Core Council this year. It would be next year. Yeah. I think you're scheduled for
January or February. But I thought that we could it would have to be if a committee drops out of the schedule for November or December. So it can't be like a special request or something, right? Like I thought like they're trying to avoid that. That's why they put us on that list.
Bad people. Well, it's they're trying not to over extend time to committees like four committees in one council meeting. So that's why it's scheduled two and if someone drops out then you can fill in their slot. So the next one is October. Now
how do we find out if anybody drops out? Well, the report is already due. So it' be more in November. Um okay. In November it was Youth Activities and Education Advisory Board.
So I would have to see talk to their liaison to see if they're reporting before council. So when is our next one? I believe I'm not sure which one you're scheduled for. It's either January or February like you were this year. I had it down as January.
It's not to make sure that we discuss that's the old this year schedule. 2020 hasn't been made yet. So it ends December. Yes. Then the new schedule it should be the same as this year. I think I I'm not the one who makes it.
So, I thought like just to change like a line item that the the town manager could request that like one sentence. Explain how they do that.
Yeah. Within the committee budget, but this would be a transfer to parks and recreation. This is a bit different. Yes. That makes sense. All right. Equipment. Yeah, sorry about that. Can you speak a little bit about what it
is we're offering them? Well, we're saying to them this board. Yeah. To install the board and Oh, can you tell us more about this board and the board itself? I guess. Yeah,
that's more of an explanation about Is it electronic? It's it's a big I'm looking at the picture but trying to figure out how it works. I want and like and then I want point I
want and then point at swing I want device but it's there and it's not electronics and I don't think it'll speak back cuz usually the AC devices you can put volume and it'll
say like it'll speak for But here it's communicate a communication board. So they are able to go through the symbols say what they want to and don't forget that um Christina or
Christy um from South Florida ABA who brought this idea to us. She even said let me know what the prices because she would like to sponsor part of it. I don't I don't think she could do the whole thing. She's a small therapy office here,
but it was her idea. We should definitely, you know, in include her in this, give her the, you know, you know, thank you for this great initiative, great idea, and if she could be part sponsor or whatever. And I mean, I know she can't do well, think she could do
5,000, but no, we can we can invite her to one of like we're cutting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bailing and all of that. Is it two-sided? Oh, it's fine. I don't know.
I think so because I think it's going to be like English on one side and Spanish on the other side. Could I then reach out to her and see, hey, would you like to help cover part of the cost or no? We want to cover cost.
Well, I would definitely want to include her once. We had to include her as I would to show how when you get involved and you speak your mind, you know, be listen.
Okay. Okay. So, do we have to make a motion and vote on anything now or not? Here we go. tried for you probably slowly. You did it. Okay. So, these are the This is the link I sent you all. It is in the uh
there. It's going to start going off now. Uh your agenda email. So, this is the communication board. Do we know if it's two-sided? Do we know one side's going to be English, one going to be Spanish? It says crisis 0 to 5,000, but
doesn't say what it is. Uh, it's like a hard plastic, I believe. Uh, I believe Jeremy would try to aim to have it under the shade so it doesn't weather as easily. Um, but eventually there will need to be maintenance of course because it's an outdoor uh
feature. [Music] Um, please refresh my memory. Where's there swings at? There are. Yep. They have a special needs one where they usually lay all the flags like for
veterans day and 91. I know the basketball court that's on the other side. This is like so when you see it's right behind grass and then like Okay, got it. Six regular swings. Yeah, I got it. I got it. I just
couldn't figure it out cuz I think of concert stage basketball court. Yeah, you're too far. Yeah. Yeah. And if you're at the stage and you look towards the playground, that's the first thing you'll see. Okay.
So, I have a question about that also. Um, is that going to be the our only park feature? Um, so far, yes. Are we still researching for more equipment or maybe a different park or
Yeah, they they still are. But he said that this is this will be fast. Now I have a question. We have also another I think one of the other parks that's very populated is also really
correct. So, do we do one and then see and then because I think that would be really nice if if we're able to put it. Um, absolutely. I know at Optimus we have the Mati Palasios, the one that's um
accessible. Yeah. Let's see. I say we try this one. and see like how it holds up for a few months, you know, and then if we like it and then we can put it in.
I think that would be amazing. Absolutely. And it would be English and Spanish. So, I think I don't know if that's something that we would have to say in the motion to cite it. Maybe not.
Do we have to vote on anything now? Um, I mean, would you like to go before council this year or do you want to wait till your original? So, I inquire about November, December. Yeah. I mean, if we can get in earlier because he says that this we got to get
all the facts before we go present. I think that would be awesome. Listen, like what it is, if it's English and Spanish, how much it's going to cost. So that we're voting to go before council. Would Right. That's what we're voting on. Sorry, quick question. Would we be
moving up our January date to November or this would just be in addition to would still have January? Um it would be an addition unless you are someone a committee wants to fill in your spot and then you already went this year and you're fine with giving it. you have to be
because I mean I was looking forward to January that way we could cover in addition is good. Okay. No, and usually like that first um report is when we get the check from the
gala. So that lines up the gall in November, you know, either January or February, they should already know the proceeds, you know, how much we're going to get. So yeah, we definitely want to keep that one. And
this one, we would just be requesting this. We don't have to do a full report, right? Uh, no. Unless there's something that you need approval on now, like new events or something like that where you need council's approval. Okay. All right.
So, I make a motion to take the um proposal for the uh communication board feature. Yes. Uh park feature uh to council.
whatever our next available date is the date becomes available second. All those in favor I and I was I mean I I think that we can even do the two I don't know I feel like
let's do two at least maybe they could do a better price. No, when we present it we can say we're requesting too. I think like I mean I would love to do like but who's doing it?
Who's doing the what company are we using? Whichever the name of the company is. Is that the company? [Music] Apparently that's a vendor the town uses. I think we could do too.
I think we can ask for like a better price for two. Mhm. Awesome. Okay. We just need to make sure we get how much and everything before we go and what it is
cuz it going to have a name like if this is the thing it's brought to you by Yes. Yeah. They should have like some type of little plaque something that they can put there like provided by the special needs advisory board to emulate something like that. I think we can add that after the fact.
I don't know if they do personalize. I mean if they do that would be great because they're already using the material. Thus we would have to figure out where I know that their logo is at the bottom of it so people know where they got it from. Okay. So we put our logo on someone.
Yes. The main question is if it's double-sided, uh, uh, with English and Spanish, right? Doublesided. And how much it's going to cost? And also if like we can put something along the lines of provided by, you know, put our logo and then provided by
SNAP or I don't know something to that effect. That would be part of the uh proposal invoice from Jerry. Yeah. what I'm saying. So when they ask the questions to the vendor so they can ask that already or that's something we have to that's going to be part of the
quote. Exactly. And if they don't we have to Can they be a sponsor for the gala landscaping structures? They should be a sponsor for the gala. You should somebody should reach out to
them. I give them two. Yeah. Ask Jeremy if they would give us like a bogo. A bogo. Good luck with that one. Do you know what it is though? Like usually you're saying buy from get and
that's it. Like you stay there. But yeah, that's true. They also use a butt for buy one get one 50% off. So um Veterans Park and you were saying Roy those are like the Roy Park is the one where Roberto wants to
correct what I thought. I asked because I was technically not cuz I I don't know like when it comes to the matas it the it's different like the so I don't know if it would be maybe something smaller because of the size of And then there's also the youth center
and then the youth center. Oh, that one's nice. What I think personally, but I, you know, I don't want to be too, you know, awkward should happen. I think that should be a goal of ours. Yeah, but let's start with the two. No, that's what I'm saying. That's why I said
in January it a goal is something you do in January. We already did this. Look how pretty Webster since it's already seven. [Music] Thank you. All right. So, okay. Are we done with old I think
we're done with old business. Anybody old business? All right. New business. Veteran spree. I put that on there because I Sorry. You said you added JF to old business. Something else. The fashion. Fashion. Oh, yeah. The fashion. Sorry.
Good job. And I have it here and I think it's 6J. So, the fashion show is October 18th. I just heard that date. Huh? I heard that date or something. Mental health. But that's the day. The fashion show is
And it's private. It's private. October. Repeat that. It's at the Roberto Alonso. What date? October 18th. That's 6 p.m. 6. So we I went to La today um and I
placed the order for the food. Okay. So you can call with the credit card number. Okay. Remember to send me the order or phone like usually here. I'll take a picture of it if you not. Okay. Okay. And then next week I'll put the
order for the pizzas and the public's order for the chicken popcorn chip. Okay. That sounds good. But that won't be told next week. Okay. You can't do that still much in advance. No. Yeah. So everything for that is pretty much
set up. I I do have to make Amazon orders which I'll send you like the the things to heat external things. Yeah. Okay. And the other things. Um,
so but I'll send that to who's providing the shipping get the Okay. And then we have to later on for the workshop. I'm just saying cuz it's in this month also place the order, right? Yes. I'm just
reminded sending me reminders. Remind us. All right. So, that was that for the fashion. Oh, sorry. All it was is that you order
everything track. All the orders until um so new business veterans parade. What's going on with the veterans parade? When is it? November 2nd. Um Sunday, November 2nd.
They're asking for adult volunteers. Um, so I was going to answer your email because I um, so if you're available, you can let me know and I'll add you to our list about different tasks. Volunteers. Adults.
There's the adults. No, not them. But what they were talking about when you were talking about the volunteers was it like there's young and and adults too, right? Mostly it's youth volunteers that Okay. Okay. I I take it. Okay.
No, I said what about and she goes adult. I'm like okay. She made a point to say adult. I'm like adult. No. You can't feel free. You can contact me. No. We're also looking for adult volunteers. I wasn't actually thinking of them. But what they had brought to the table got
the volunteers. So, are they having cars for the comedians or No, they don't have they're not doing that. Uh instead of like Jeeps which they've had in the past, they'll be having golf carts this year. What have you ever done golf carts
provided? Uh there is a vendor that's providing golf carts. But if you all would like a golf cart, then I would need to know that way. There's a selective number. Sure. You can have Can anyone rent a golf club or only a
year? I would I think it's only committees. Most people will either walk or but anyway my record can you um not my record but for my my brain um could I get the company name because I don't know any golf people
that rent golf carts. Okay. So by the way I have things but Will has not responded to any of my emails. Uh, Bill is out of town country. Um, so that's probably why.
And I don't think they're renting golf carts. I think it's incind type thing, but I can double check on that. Um, the signs. You know anything about signs? Or the golf carts? Uh, I think they're planning on doing like an adhesive signs to golf carts.
Yeah. The front of the house would be like a little But you can put the signs. So this the committee is interested in having a golf cart. So I can put that. We would like to have a golf course.
Yes. Golf and participate in the veterans parade. And by participate will be Vivian driving. Yes. And just you won't be going that fast. It's a parade. So, as long as you run no one
over um I'll put in the request. Okay. So, and find out if it's been decorating. And we have the other ghost has to like
wear like patriotic accessories. You can get matching or Miami Lakes inspired stuff. Just remember, of course, the two seaters seaters or the big long ones. You don't know what they're providing. Hanged out. Yeah,
committees are usually more than I know. Yeah, but usually No, usually it's not a lot. It's not the whole committee. We've never I think the most we've ever had is three people. And by three she means me in the golf club. No, no, no, no. In the past like in the
Jeep most had the driver and then three. Well, it depends. It depends cuz sometimes with the Jeep they usually say two cuz sometimes right the Jeep will bring some some right. All right.
Yeah. We want to go. I will ask. All right, that's that's it for new business. Um, announcements. I have an announcement. Me, too. We should go ahead.
I was just curious. Anybody here has ever thought of winning the lotto? Wow. Um, why do I ask? Because as a small business owner, as someone who sees, oh
man, how am I going to pay rent this month when I had two clients come in and they bought a $3 sticker? How can I like bring how can I make the Trellis Cottage stand out for holiday gift giving cuz the holidays are coming and we want people to think outside the box, the
Amazon box, and think of instead of buying all your gifts from Amazon this year, go to your local store. Go to if you see my store, all the stuff that are cute. Okay, great. Wonderful. But then I was like, how can I partner with the local businesses who are all in the same
boat? Because I walk into BB's bank house and she has three employees there and it's empty. I go next door to 1910, it's it's it's completely empty. So I'm like, okay, this is not a me problem. Like, you know, it's not that I have,
you know, horrible goods or anything like that. So I'm like, how can I partner with these local businesses? So I came up with an idea. I brought it to the chamber and to Tikico and to Ray Palasios. They loved it. They said, "Go
talk to the EDC. I went to the EDC. They voted on it and agreed to help me push this as an initiative and to sponsor it." And who sits on the EDC is Andrea Richi. And she said, you know, email me.
The Grams want to push this as a town initiative and want to sponsor you as well. So, or not me, but sponsor this initiative. So, I bring you the Miami Lakes Loco Lotto. And what that is, it's
a lot card, but it's essentially a bingo card, but we call it the Miami Lakes Lotto because we're Florida. And um what it is is a lot card that residents or visitors can purchase for only $2. And on that card,
it has 24 local businesses, stores, restaurants, and cafes. And every single time they present their card at checkout, they would get a sticker stamp on that box. So, it encourages them to want to visit and to support dine
locally all of the holiday season rather than, oh yeah, I'm going we're having like a, you know, a business lunchon. We're going to take the whole staff to Coral Gables. Don't take your staff to 19 cent, take them to chillis. So this is really then it became bigger than the
trail of scudge. You know, of course I have a box, but it became how can we all work together? So even though the town is um in support of this, it is still very much businessled and I told all the businesses, if you're doing this, great. I want you, but you're not in this
alone. You have to promote each other. So like if you're if Vicky Bakery is on number one, guess what? Like I would love for you to go to the businesses on your row and be like like taking pictures, posting it on your stories, on your Instagram, whatever, and be promoting all of these neighbors that
are all in the same boat. Therefore, this is not public knowledge yet. You've got that cheating right here. Out of 24 businesses, I only have five spots left. So, I'm super proud. I'm so
happy with what we've got. I have influencers already booked. I have the ads already, you know, five ads in the Laker secured. I have social media campaign ready to go. I filmed a commercial on Sunday. So, like explaining the whole process and how the
rules, participations, everything. Why do they want to do this? Because each $2 that are collected for this card goes into that jackpot. So, if we sell 1,000 cards, that's a $2,000 jackpot. that
will be uh drawing at the January chamber lunchon. So ready if they go to all 24. I'm sorry. How do they get into the drawing? What do you mean how do they get Okay, so every row completed is one entry towards that jackpot. So any row up or
down, it doesn't matter. It's one. If they do two rows, it's two entries. If they fill out the whole card, fantastic. That's 10 entries. So they have obviously 10 chances to win in the grand prize. And I'm purposely having the chamber pull it because I don't want any
anybody claiming favoritism or anything like that. Um, so it's like bingo. It's Yeah, it's essentially bingo. And these are all the businesses that are signed up. So I have Vicki Bakery number one. Um, yeah. 1910 Cin Studio, Frosties,
Beauty's Bake House, Bomb Vivant that just opened. Um, Zen K9. Not everybody has a pet, but she said just somebody coming in to take a free tour. Just tour the grounds and you get your you get your sticker. Um, so why I I I wanted to show you this. It's
not so you guys to purchase anything. I just want you guys when this goes public because this is going to be a holiday shopping initiative from November 7th to January 7th. I would just love your support if you see because you're gonna see the signs around town in official
auto stop because everybody is g every participating business is getting like their own like marketing set of signs of cards of stickers. Everybody's going to have their own um how do you say um what's the word?
Their owning um festive touch. We'll call it a festive touch. So, you know, on top of what I'm providing you as like your marketing that shows like, hey, I'm an official stop on the lotto card, you know, if you want to do balloon a balloon garland,
anything that helps incentivize people to see like you're part of the lotto and, you know, on top of social media campaign ads and everything. My hope is you guys could just help me spread the word. It's only $2. So my goal is for my
goal. Yeah, I would love to sell all cards. How much do they have? So it ranges in price. They started at 175 of course those were the first to go. Um so the ones that are left are the highest prices because of course
everybody wanted the lowest ones. Um but the costs every single penny on I have to sell every box because every penny is already accounted for. Like for example, we're working with Mario Ramil. He was very expensive, but he has over 200,000
followers. It was like a musto. I have another influencer that I'm paying. I just um secured the videographer to do 10 videos and each video is going to highlight four different businesses. So, we're going to do different filming days and going around. It's like, okay, today
we're doing Main Street. We're just doing Main Street today. Okay, let's go get a coffee from BB's Bake House. Let's go um grab ceviche, you know, from here. Let's go um to Snow's Jewelers and maybe try on some rings, like do like a video commercial. And every single person that
paid this money, it's all going to operation cost, printing costs, ads, every single penny is already accounted for. If there is anything extra, it's because we got a a sponsor, like a surprise sponsor. So, the sponsors that I do have now are the Graham Companies
um and Your Better Mortgage. Other people said yes, but they haven't paid. So that doesn't count. So why are different? Just because visually like when you play um well not when you play bingo, but
when you see any group of 24 boxes, your eyes always go to the edges to the corners to the top row and the sides. So and then also right next to the freebie box is always a high visibility. So it's just vis it's just science. So,
if I needed to make X amount for this initiative to cover the cost of ads from November 7th through January 7th and the five ads in the Miami Laker, I needed to be able to make X amount. So, I needed to divide it fairly and I
wasn't going to charge everybody the same because then everybody would want the best box, the best box. So, like the bigger like Vicky B like I have to have number one and you know, so they wanted, oh, I have to have a corner. So they were like, "Oh, we need a corner, too." So that's how we
Oh, we have a question. Yes. So the actual bottom, you have to be like over the age of 18. No. Okay. Because it's not gambling. No. So motto because of the Florida lottery and it has the Florida lottery vibes. If you know, if my brand is very much like
we don't steal anything, but we're like, "Oh, and inspired by." So instead of the flamingo, it's the cow. And so so yeah, so I would love your guys' support once once this it launches November 7th. We're going to
start referencing it October 20th. Like I said, I already filmed the commercial, but it needs to be edited. Um I just need like everybody's like, "Oh my gosh, like you know, sharing it. sharing this is such a good initiative because at the end of the day the more I see this the
more people will buy cards and even if they only maybe they don't even fill out an entire card uh an entire row maybe they literally just go to three in the whole cart guess what those are three businesses that would not have gotten a client if it wasn't for this so a $2
lotto ticket already paid for itself because they bought a $7 coffee and also coffee is going up you you know, they bought a $50 lunch at, you know, 1910 and they bought a margarita chalice.
So, it already the goal is just to get uh people through the doors and of course not just Miami Lakes, even though it's easiest for Miami Lakers, anybody working here, visiting here, you know, maybe they have they're from Coral Gables and they have a date night scheduled for Chelas and then they see
the sign, they're like, "Oh man, like this is cool. Oh, let's go to Menchies because Menches is on it, too. get dessert at Menchies or we could get dessert at um at Frosties or we could pick up a bottle of wine from Bone Viv instead of getting it from Total Wine.
So that my friends is what I've been working tirelessly on. And like I said, I could just Can you Can you be just uh for someone to visit? Like for example, like if I want to buy one for Gigi, so people just visit Gigi?
Yeah, of course. They don't have I mean we don't have anything to sell, right? Um maybe we can come up with something that they can maybe well you could do either get a tour, get a visit or maybe they make a donation. Maybe it's make any donation and even if
it's $5 20 I don't know if you want to put a minimum but I think it's any incentive to get them there and make a collaborated. Okay. Yep. Here you go. Pick your box. I also wanted to make an announcement.
There's something called the Abilities Expo. And I'll just read the little It's really short. It's three days. It's October 17th through the 19th. There's different times. And it's um it says three days, one route. Endless access to

And there is an interabled couple. Um, which means, you know, one is a disabled, one is not. Um, they're like everywhere. Squirmy and grubs, if you look that up. I love them. Yes, they're going to be there. there's going to be someone that I think it's uh Cory like he travels
around the whole world and he has a he does so much so it's you know it's very interesting they have workshops on dogs the service dog they have a lot of you know different things so and it's a free event and it's in Fort Lauderdale okay can you send that to Isabella to
send I yes there's events in October so I just wanted to share Thank you. Number 10. Number 10. That right. Okay. Any other
just wanted to say that open carry is a thing. No. So, there's a lot of questions, but there's it's really simple. You can just carry your gun outside and be visible. Um, there are some
restrictions, but they're not new restrictions. They're the same restrictions before. No schools or no schools. Right. I'll go through some here. Board of County Commission meetings, city commission meetings. So, any county, city, any of these um meetings, uh, cour
houseses, police stations, sheriff's offices, bars. So, for bars with any place that sells out, no guns are prohibited. schools, schools sponsor events, carry school bus, school bus stops. So um and with the schools go to
colleges and any place that does not allow it. So any private property can say listen we don't want this and and we don't somebody walks in listen uh we don't um have open carry
here you please leave. If they leave, nothing happens. Then um they're trespassing after warning and if they stay, they will go. I have a question that I've actually been thinking about it for a long time
and I could Google the statistics, but you would know black and white the hard facts. Um, what is comparing states that are open carry versus not? What is like the is there a
benefit or or not? Like what is like is it like I want to say scarier because of course for me it's scarier to hear that. Yeah. And I see did see that on the news. So I I asked like is it I know what you're saying. Yeah. I can tell you typically an armed
society is a polite society. Really? That is the 100% um stat all the statistics show that when there's more guns, there's less violence because people are armed. And if a bad guy a bad
guy has to think twice uh to commit a crime because people are armed, right? And I'll give you one big example. You remember the shooting? The Aurora shooting inside of the um the elementary school. Um no, this one. No, one where the gentleman stopped it,
right? Cuz he he shot them. No, this one it was inside of a movie theater. Oh, that Batman and all that. That one comes to mind because the guy bypassed like five different movie theaters to find that one that had all the signs
that said no guns. The other ones were more open to people carrying guns. So he was afraid of those places because he knew he was going to be challenged, right? Oh wow. So that is statistically that's just how it is. And then like Chicago that has the
strictest gun laws has the most violence. Okay. I've heard of those statistics, but then I also think like isn't there room for more accidents than I I don't know like I I I don't know. I hear I hear a gun. They know how to
carry it done because they go through, you know, it's not usually, right? Yeah. Typically, yes, people are a lot of people already have them. The difference is instead of being under the shirt, now it's open. Yeah. And it happened with concealers license.
The majority of the people that wanted to carry concealed got a license and still even though they don't need one still want to have one because they just they just, you know, we thought it would happen and then we're seeing it. No, they're still trying to get it because they they want to have it. And the
person that never wanted to have it never had it because they just never wanted to get it. So, okay, if they're going to break the law, they're going to break the law. Okay. I'm sorry. I have to go. Okay. Any other announcements?
I I just want to invite the So, we having an event for Down syndrome awareness month um on October 18. Uh I believe is another October 18. Yeah, I know, right?
