Summary

Nick Turner invited residents to the NAACP's annual community cookout at Kiwanis Park on Saturday, Aug. 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering free food and school-supply backpacks and asking for volunteers.

Nick Turner (Ward 5) used the public-comment period to invite residents to the NAACP's annual community cookout, noting giveaways of backpacks with school supplies and free food.

"This is my 12th year on the NAACP executive board," Turner said, urging city residents to attend and volunteer for serving and cleanup shifts. He said last year's supplies ran out because COVID funding had ended and encouraged broad public participation.

The council did not take action on the announcement; the comment was recorded as information for the community and event organizers.
