relative to the planned luncheon event, Ms. De Jesus suggested
that the March 31, 1994 luncheon be held as a sponsored event
rather than a city funded function Several businesses and
individuals have agreed to sponsor the event, e.g., Leighton Hull
Management, Bevan Thomas, Della Mazziotti, Cynthia Green -Geter
and Western Arborists Pageantry was willing to donate the
plaques
Dr Jackson mentioned that in the past, the Commission's original
plan to celebrate the Women's Month was to honor some women in
the community who have provided outstanding contributions to the
City of Lynwood The list included the following: Jen Heine,
Frances Cunningham, Ann Fields, Silvia Lars, Vera Reed, and some
employees who were no longer connected with the City Staff
liaison during that time informed the commission that the members
can not honor the women they have suggested and subsequently,
staff changed the whole plan and honored some public officials.
Dr. Jackson suggested that in addition to Evelyn Wells, the
commission revert to its original plan of honoring the women
mentioned. Margaret Warren, the commission's past minute clerk
and city's former deputy clerk was added to the list.
