Councilmember Betty Guardado announced a community holiday event at the Maryville Community Center in Phoenix, saying organizers have "arriba de 1000 juguetes" (more than 1,000 toys) and expect more than 1,000 children to attend.
Guardado, speaking in Spanish, said children will be able to take photos with Santa and receive a toy. She also listed food and entertainment at the event, including tacos and live music ("banda"), and described multiple activities planned for attendees.
Guardado thanked community partners for making the event possible, naming neighborhood schools (including Alhambra and another school name as spoken in the transcript), the Phoenix Firefighters and a firefighters' foundation, and the event's sponsors for helping register children and support operations. She closed by offering holiday wishes to those in attendance.
Details given in the transcript indicate the scale of the event (more than 1,000 toys and an expected attendance of more than 1,000 children) but did not provide a formal event name in English that could be independently verified; the speaker referred to the occasion as the "quinto anual" (fifth annual) celebration and used a name that is unclear in the transcript. The location was identified as the Maryville Community Center.
No formal motions, votes, or policy actions were recorded in the transcript. The remarks were an event announcement and expression of thanks. According to the transcript, Guardado said, "Hola a todos, soy la concejal Betty Guardado de la ciudad de Phoenix," and concluded by thanking sponsors and wishing the community happy holidays.
