Local resident asks council to support returning "daddy-daughter" and family events to University Place
Summary
A University Place resident told the council she and community volunteers want to revive the city's "daddy-daughter" dance and similar family events and asked for the city's support in outreach and logistics.
During the public-comment period, resident Liana Mason asked the council to help revive a series of family-focused events, including a daddy-daughter dance that she and a volunteer committee hope to reestablish in University Place.
Mason said she moved back to the city in 1997, runs a local business (Entertainment Masters), and has historical ties to prior community events that she helped organize. She described a volunteer committee that includes local performers and event volunteers and asked the council and city staff to help publicize and partner with volunteers to bring family events, such as the daddy-daughter dance, a mother-son sports night and a mother-daughter tea, back to University Place.
Mayor Figueroa told Mason staff would follow up; later in the meeting council members asked staff to check the legal and logistical details and return with options. No council vote was taken during the public-comment item.
