Council proclaims May Foster Care Month; recognizes Vietnamese American Remembrance Day
Summary
The Prineville City Council read a proclamation recognizing May as Foster Care Month and proclaimed April 30 as Vietnamese American Remembrance Day; Casa of Central Oregon provided Crook County foster‑care statistics.
Prineville City Council read a proclamation declaring May 2025 as Foster Care Month in Prineville and read a separate proclamation recognizing Vietnamese American Remembrance Day on April 30.
Kinsey Turnsplenny of Casa of Central Oregon accepted the foster‑care proclamation and told the council that, “as of today, we actually have 51 children in foster care in the Crook County boundaries. We have 41 now with the Casa volunteer, but we now have 10 that are waiting for Casa volunteers.” Turnsplenny encouraged residents to learn about volunteer advocacy at casaofcentraloregon.org.
The Vietnamese American Remembrance Day proclamation recognizes April 30 as a day of remembrance for the end of the Vietnam War and honors Vietnamese American contributions; the council indicated the mayor will present the proclamation to the community when appropriate.
Both proclamations were presented during the council business portion of the meeting; no formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript for the proclamations themselves because the foster‑care proclamation had been approved at a prior meeting and the Vietnamese remembrance proclamation will be presented later.
