Van Beauty College offers free haircuts at community walk event

The Garden Grove City Council meeting on May 13, 2025, highlighted several community initiatives and events aimed at enhancing local engagement and promoting the city ahead of the upcoming 2028 Olympics.

One of the key discussions involved the recent community walk event, where local businesses contributed significantly. Van Beauty College provided free haircuts and manicures, while several sponsors, including S and T, donated robot vacuums and chargers for attendees. Other contributors, such as QD, Cobalt Kelly, and KDHL, supplied food and refreshments, showcasing strong community support.

Council members also discussed the importance of promoting Garden Grove during the Olympics. One member expressed a desire to create a new park to showcase the city’s attractions, including the iconic Kai Cathedral. This initiative aims to leverage the global attention from the Olympics to highlight local culture and landmarks.

Additionally, there was a proposal to nominate the city’s navigation center for a housing project award, emphasizing collaboration with nearby cities like Fountain Valley and Westminster. This nomination is seen as a way to recognize the city’s efforts in addressing housing challenges.

The meeting also touched on upcoming events, including a community cleanup scheduled for May 17 at Garden Grove Park, encouraging residents to participate in beautifying the area. Furthermore, a mural project is in the works for a tunnel between Trass and Garden Grove Park, inviting local artists and businesses to contribute.

In closing, the council members expressed gratitude for community involvement and support, reinforcing the importance of unity and collaboration in enhancing Garden Grove’s appeal and livability.
