November 14, 2006 Minutes approved as read.
Kathy Streamer, Aeace & Joy Shelter, Guest wants to be a friend to the Lynwood Women's
Commission. She said she lost her cell phone and has all new numbers. She said it is a blessing
to have all of your support; she will leave all their information so you will have it. Chairperson
Mary Sue Lewis asked if she is the only one who can receive calls. Kathy Streamer said they
operate a very busy shelter with over 100 people so it is better to call her directly. Lorene Reed,
Friend, said the Commission voted for her to become a friend; she asked Chairperson Mary Sue
Lewis what is the procedure for becoming a friend. Chairperson Mary Sue Lewis said she
doesn't remember voting all you have to do is request you become a friend.
Commissioner Margaret Araujo asked how long does the Chairperson serve? She asked is the
Women's Commission under the Marketing and Grants Department. Staff Liaison Phyllis
Cooper-Lyons said yes, Laura Alderete is over the Marketing and Grants Department.
Chairperson Mary Sue Lewis said an election is held every two years and the next one will be in
July 2007.
Suggestions and Goals for 2007:
Chairperson Mary Sue Lewis asked for Suggestions and Goals.
Commissioner Sylvia Herron suggested the Commission send out donation letters in January
2007 but certainly no later than March 31, 2007 with afollow-up letter in July. The City has a
form letter and list of possible vendors we used for the Senior Citizens Center which could be
revised to suit our needs.
Pearline Calderon, Friend said the Commissioners should make plans for all of their events from
January through December.
Chairperson Mary Sue Lewis said we have events in March, October, and December
Staff Liaison Phyllis Cooper-Lyons introduced Laura Alderete, Marketing and Grants Manager.
Laura Alderete said she has been working hard on the Commissioner's Banquet. She stated that
next month the minute's clerk will be replaced.
Commissioner Margaret Araujo asked will all the letters for donations come from your office.
Laura Alderete said her office will centralize donation requests. Pearline Calderon, Friend asked
do we choose who to ask for donations. Laura said yes you do. Commissioner Margaret Araujo
said the Commissioners go to Laura Alderete with ideas not the friends.
Chairperson Mary Sue Lewis said we should send letters to Mattel and other companies; she said
if they receive letters from eight different commissions in the City they will divide their
donations between the eight commissions. She said today for instance she requested
refreshments and finger foods for our women since we didn't have our Christmas luncheon so
this is our refreshments; there is no dessert but there is coffee; she said not that she is ungrateful
but she said whenever the Commissioners say something they want to do, then let's do it; we do
have a little budget; we didn't go on our trip this year so there should have been some funds left
over and she thinks everyone of the ladies should have had a little token which shows
appreciation in the Christmas spirit.
Laura Alderete said again that was part of the transition of the Commission from the Recreation
Department to the Marketing and Grants Department and she apologizes for it. One of the
suggestions is to have a nice luncheon for the Commissioners to kick off the Ncw Year.
Staff Liaison Phyllis Cooper-Lyons said Carol de Jesus was one in a million; she passed out gifts
and cards to the Commissioners and Friends.
Chairperson Mary Sue Lewis asked if the Commission should send something to former
Commissioner Della Mazziotti. Commissioner Ethel Pacheco said she was in a home and wasn't
sure they knew the address.
Motion to Adjourn made by Commissioner Sylvia Herron, seconded by Commissioner Ethel
Pacheco; meeting adjourned at 3:55 pm
