Councilmember Betty Guardado of Pínnix, who represents District 5, told the council that her office held its fifth annual backpack drive providing free backpacks to children and thanked community partners who supported the event. "Quiero darle las gracias a DJ Image, por todo su trabajo de venir y darle corte de pelo gratis a los niños sin un costo para ellos," she said.
The drive included free backpacks and on-site haircuts, Guardado said, and she named several organizations and businesses that contributed. She thanked "la fundación de los bomberos, local 493" and said other contributors included "South with Gas," "Below Look," and two school districts she identified as Court Right and Ajambra for sharing the event flyer so families would know about the benefit.
Guardado closed by wishing the children a successful school year: "Y a los chiquillos les queremos decir feliz año, que tengan un año escolar con muy buenos grados," she said. The remarks were informational; no motions or formal council actions were presented in the transcript regarding the event.
