Salinas proclaims July as National Volunteer Month at youth-led mock council meeting
Summary
Mayor Rodriguez and council members honored volunteers and neighborhood services staff highlighted a downtown cleanup and said over 1,000 new volunteers participated in recent events; the proclamation was presented during a youth-led mock council session.
Mayor Rodriguez read a proclamation declaring July as National Volunteer Month and recognized volunteers for activities including coaching, tutoring, neighborhood and park cleanups and the city's "Adopt a Park" efforts. A council member read the proclamation's text and neighborhood services staff accepted the recognition, citing the recent downtown cleanup and the participation of over 1,000 new volunteers in the past year.
