NAMI Mahoning Valley asks commissioners to join charity chili cook-off
Summary
Hope Haney of NAMI Mahoning Valley used public comment to invite commissioners and county 'chili masters' to the nonprofit's fifth annual chili cook-off, a fundraiser that supports free services and programs.
During public comment at the Dec. 11 meeting, Hope Haney introduced herself as representing NAMI Mahoning Valley and invited commissioners to participate in the nonprofit’s fifth annual chili cook-off, which she said helps fund free services, support groups and education programs.
Haney told commissioners: "I am with the National Alliance for Mental Illness, the local affiliate, NAMI Mahoning Valley," and described the cook-off as one of the ways the group raises money for free services in the Mahoning Valley. Commissioners responded with informal remarks and encouragement during a light-hearted exchange about past winners and local participants.
The invitation was a public-comment item only; no county action or funding request related to the event was recorded in the meeting.
A recorded motion later in the meeting approved routine agenda items and resolutions; the NAMI invitation was part of the public-comment record but did not prompt a board vote.
