The Keep Laredo Beautiful Board convened on March 19, 2025, to discuss upcoming community engagement initiatives and the Reader's Choice Awards nominations. The meeting focused on planning an event aimed at increasing student participation and awareness of environmental issues.

Board members explored potential venues for the event, considering options such as the rec center and the Boys and Girls Club. The rec center was highlighted as a favorable choice due to its existing facilities, including a screen for presentations, which would simplify logistics. If the rec center is unavailable, the board agreed to reach out to the Boys and Girls Club, which also serves a significant number of local youth.

In addition to event planning, the board reviewed their responsibilities regarding the Reader's Choice Awards. Members were reminded to participate in the nomination process and to promote their social media presence to enhance community engagement. The nomination period has concluded, and the board is hopeful about their chances in four categories. They emphasized the importance of rallying support for voting if they receive nominations.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to fostering community involvement and environmental awareness among local youth, while also preparing for the upcoming awards. The next steps include confirming the venue and actively promoting their initiatives through social media channels.
