The City Council of El Segundo celebrated its 58th annual Mayor's Good Friday Breakfast, a cherished community tradition that brings together residents, local leaders, and organizations to reflect on the spirit of Easter. The event, held on April 26, 2025, highlighted the importance of community engagement and gratitude, with a special focus on the values of teamwork and integrity.
During the breakfast, attendees were treated to inspiring speeches that emphasized the significance of how one competes and collaborates, rather than just focusing on victories. A notable moment included the presentation of commemorative pens by the Rotary Club to local coaches, symbolizing the Rotary's "4 Way Test"—a set of guiding principles aimed at fostering ethical behavior in personal and professional lives.
The event also served as a platform to acknowledge the generous sponsors who support this long-standing tradition. Key contributors included Chevron, the El Segundo Kiwanis Club, the City of El Segundo, and the El Segundo Unified School District, among others. Their support underscores the collaborative spirit that defines the El Segundo community.
As the breakfast concluded, attendees were reminded of the true meaning of Easter through a heartfelt benediction, encouraging kindness and reflection during this holy week. The Mayor's Good Friday Breakfast not only celebrates the holiday but also reinforces the bonds within the community, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose as residents look forward to the spring season.
