During a recent government meeting, members discussed the reformation of the social justice subcommittee following the resignation of its previous chair, Commissioner Kobal. The committee had not convened in the past month due to this vacancy, but a potential new chair, Rhys, volunteered to lead the group. The first meeting under the new leadership is scheduled for next Tuesday, with an emphasis on adhering to established governance rules.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted the success of the recent SUMR Jubilee, which attracted over 4,000 attendees. The event featured various activities, including the distribution of 110 backpacks and 1,300 soccer game tickets, alongside appearances from Carolina Core soccer players who engaged with families through autographs and photos. The jubilee was praised for its diversity and community engagement, setting a positive tone for upcoming city festivals, including the Unity Festival and Day at the Park.
Members expressed a desire for a schedule of future events to be circulated, ensuring continued community involvement and participation in city activities. The meeting concluded with a commitment to maintain good governance and foster community connections through these initiatives.
