The late mayor lee loved working with children, and in 2015, for the mayors birthday, that was debbies first birthday, he requested the kids get involved. So we all sat around the table, wondering how we were going to get the kids involved. So we decided to hold a tree planting, and let the kids show up for the tree planting. And it was a great time, and the mayor had a good time. The next year, we did sort of that reprize theme. We had an earth Day Breakfast at city hall. And we put the kids in the 05100 tshirts, and we taught them a song. And they sung a song to honor the work that mayor lee did, and mayor newsom.
