Had the pleasure of attending the Reading Across America at Terrace View Elementary School. She was
amazed at all the children sitting there enthusiastic about reading. She met with the Foundation Youth
Services Committee and the lady who is wanting to. start up the Grand Terrace Recreation Center. There
was an opportunity to discuss ways to address the youth programs and needs in the City. She feels that
there is going to be an opportunity to do something for the youth in the community that will be
educational, as well as fun. She looks forward to future discussions. She also did the Blue Mountain
Hike and was happy to see that the Friends of Blue Mountain have been able to continue this event. She
saw a lot of community groups out there in support of this event. She looks forward to the day when this
is a wilderness park. She had conversations with concerned residents over the weekend with regard to
speeding on Palm and Honey Hill, as well as vandalism in the same area. She was also told that golf
balls are being hit onto properties in that area that are coming from Palm. She would like to get the area
residents together with a Sheriffs Department representative. She asked for some help with the
coordination of this meeting. She thanked Cheryl Brown's representative for coming to the meeting and
showing an interest in Grand Terrace.
