And if you can, I'd like to congratulate her on her 25 years of putting together the Children's Day. For 25 years, the Children's Day has provided a safe and positive environment for kids to grow and play. Children's Day reminds adults that our future generations rely on us to be good stewards of the earth and of nature. The goal of Children's Day is to do something wonderful, to make our world a better place. And the motto of Children's Day is Be community friendly summer. You have been the embodiment of that motto. This year's Children Day Festival will take place on Sunday, April 28th at the Eldorado Park, Downtown Duck Pond. The event will include multicultural shows, children's choirs, dancers, singers, drummers and lots of wonderful young folks. I hope to see you there. I am proud to have partnered with Summer on many children's day events and I look forward to working with her on in future events. Summer, thank you so much.

Members of Long Beach City Council, my name is Jim Oberst. I am with an organization being developed called the Creative The Climate Change Creative Committee of Children say we're made up of a series of of energy and issues of of renewable energy companies of we at your park, we formed a relationship with Miss Cherry of the Boy Scouts of America, which will be launched in 30 different schools of kids, basically helping to develop energy projects, renewable projects of various sizes from rooftops to geothermal projects. That will be that that'll be shown at Children's Day this year. Children will be given scholarship funds for participating in the program, but most importantly, they will be applying their knowledge that they're learning in schools to actually implementing these projects, which grades K through 12 to learn basic math and how that goes into sizing systems. English for persuasive arguments, music to celebrate the coming of the green economy. But most importantly, Sun Projects is a company that is licensed in about eight different states. They want to take this program as we are developing the pilot project in these 30 schools to be replicated within the scope of of some project. And as I have said in a previous statement, Greg Stewart, who is a local resident of Long Beach, who runs a company called Noble Therm but is a geothermal energy company. We are participating in a project in in restorations of different cities that were damaged and destroyed in fires in Northern California and turning and having them rise like phenixes to be completely green and sustainable. What we would love to be, what we would love to be able to do is engineer who developed the Stirling engine that is both doing the geothermal power as well as the water filtration cleanup at paradise that we're proposing in Paradise, California. We would love to be able to introduce that here as well and raise money for our scholarship initiative and our homeless housing programs. Thank you. You'll notice that actually in the flier that I gave you, which is right here. Thank you for the reinforcement. Appreciate your comments. Any other public comment?
