“Just so I'm tracking, because I'm visualizing an example of that right now, and I could be wrong, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe there's something similar like that with the gentleman who lives down the street here who owns the watch shop. who does the watch repair shop, and they live, the building, the house, they live there, and in the section they just, I guess they come downstairs and there's a watch repair shop. And I know they've been there for several years. So is that what we're, something similar to like that, is that what we're talking about?”

“Thank you, Mayor. Last week I had an opportunity to attend the Senior Center's Volunteer Award Banquet along with Council Member Rakes and Baldwin, and it was a lot of fun. First time I had been to one, and it was great to be able to see a lot of the folks that make things happen behind the scenes that a lot of times don't get the recognition or, you know, the thank you. And so to publicly thank those folks and celebrate with them was awesome. And I look forward to attending again next year.”

Yeah, so there's an opportunity. Part of that requirement is that they have to present what they learned on. So yeah, there's a possibility of some of them want to do that.

“Yeah, thank you. Just a quick comment. Kudos to all of the different partnerships that you have. I really appreciate just the different ways that you're trying to get young people involved, especially introducing them to potential areas of you know, career interests that maybe they never would have even thought about. But if nothing else, just the hands-on experience and learning some different things that, in particular, horticulture. I like this pilot project.
