ATASC Grassroots Committee applied for Proclamations of Children’s Day from cities of Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Ventura, Irvine and Newport Beach. Huntington Beach and Ventura readily agreed and issued documents. Long Beach Proclamation was issued after some extra work by Izmir-Long Beach Sister Cities. We had to go through a rigorous process for Irvine; but it got approved. We will have it on hand in time for OCTAA celebration. Newport Beach, for some reason, is not issuing Proclamations. We will ask for more details.
We hope that we can do this more widely next year and get recognized in more communities.
