Alpha Kappa Alpha proposes 'Pink Out' breast-cancer event for Clinton on Oct. 25
Summary
Julissa Carr of Alpha Kappa Alpha asked the Clinton City Council to support a 'Pink Out' breast-cancer awareness event proposed for Oct. 25, describing a survivor panel, tribute, and a dance-fitness session. The council called for a motion to approve the special event; the transcript records a motion request but no formal vote tally.
Julissa Carr, representing Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, Roe Omega Omega Chapter, told the Clinton City Council she and her committee are planning a "Pink Out" breast-cancer awareness event at the City Market on Oct. 25 to educate and support community members affected by breast cancer. "We would be honored to have the city council and Clinton community join us for the celebration of strength, hope, and unity," Carr said.
Carr said the event will include a panel of survivors and advocates, a remembrance moment and a high-energy dance-fitness session to encourage participation and health awareness. At her presentation Carr gave the event time as "1 to 4 PM." Later in the council discussion the item was described as Oct. 25 "noon until 5," a discrepancy recorded in the meeting minutes that the council should clarify before printing promotional materials.
The presiding official invited a motion to approve the special-event permit. The transcript records the council requesting a motion to approve the breast-cancer awareness special event, but does not record a mover, second, or a completed vote tally in the spoken segments provided. Council members praised Carr's presentation during the discussion.
Next steps: the council asked for the event to be placed on the agenda for approval; timing and final permit details (including the correct event hours) were not specified in the transcript excerpt and would need confirmation from city staff.
