Danville council proclaims April Alcohol Awareness Month and National Library Week; approves consent calendar
Summary
The council presented proclamations recognizing April as Alcohol Awareness Month (to MADD representative Aliyah Gonzales) and the week of April 19–24 as National Library Week (to interim library manager Marleah Holmes), approved the consent calendar unanimously, and adjourned in memory of a community volunteer.
At its April 7 meeting the Danville Town Council presented two community proclamations and approved routine business.
Mayor Newell Einarich read a proclamation recognizing April 2026 as Alcohol Awareness Month and presented it to Aliyah Gonzales of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Gonzales thanked the council and said MADD’s local office in Dublin provides outreach to schools, parents and scout groups. "We're here to help," she said, describing the group’s presentations to high‑school and middle‑school audiences.
The council also proclaimed the week of April 19–24, 2026 as National Library Week and presented the proclamation to Marleah Holmes, interim senior community library manager for the Danville Library. Holmes described the week’s themes (Right to Read, Library Workers' Day, outreach and Take Action for Libraries Day) and said libraries remain vital community centers: "They are community centers, they are learning hubs, they are welcoming spaces for all," she said.
The council then took the consent calendar (items 6.1–6.3) in a single motion. After a motion and second, the mayor called for the vote and said, "Motion carries unanimously." No roll‑call vote was recorded in the transcript.
Mayor Einarich closed the meeting in memory of Candace Hendra, chair of the senior advisory commission, who recently died following a recurrence of cancer. He recalled her community service and noted her longtime involvement in local recreation and senior programming.
Next steps: proclamations are to be shared with the honored organizations; town staff will post the consent‑calendar actions as part of the meeting record.
