No one gets it that well. Hi everyone I'm here this evening to share with you our new brand for the senior activity center of Sheboygan a few months ago Some members of the senior services commission and the friends of the senior activity center started the process of Going through a formal rebrand but this conversation has been going on for Five plus years probably our own alderperson flaky Paneski conducted some focus groups five years ago That identified that our membership was not happy with the name senior activity center of Sheboygan often abbreviated to sacks they also Don't enjoy being called seniors some other issues with the existing name of senior activity center of Sheboygan were that Where there's a lot of confusion with other organizations in town? Nursing homes rehab facilities most specifically Sheboygan senior community out on highway Y for which we receive calls About once a week and they receive calls for us about once a week So our goals when setting out on determining a new name and new brand to go along with our new building on North 8th Street was that we would have a unique a Unique name that would not be confused with any other organization and would accurately reflect the population that we serve which our adults 55 plus That are independent and active and still have a lot of life left to serve this community So our new name Members of the friends and the commission work together with dynamic agency Through the rebrand process the friends of the senior activity center are paying for this $25,000 to include the name the logo and a new website and Scott if you want to pull up our new name So the name that we agreed on and was voted and approved on by the friends and the commission last month is Uptown social with the tagline Sheboygan's hub for active seniors. So if we look at the next slide, we'll see the new logo We're very excited. We think this accurately reflects the population that we're serving The seniors that have been involved in the process feel strongly about the name They're very excited to not have to come to the sacks and we're also excited with the possibility of abbreviation Uptown social abbreviates to us and so we plan to have a lot of fun with our marketing terms Using us and Uptown social and so our intent is later this month we will be sharing this information at the annual meeting of the friends of the senior activity center and Going from there as we prepare for our new building I know you have a lot on your agenda. So if anyone wants to follow up with me separately I'm always available and I brought a giveaway for everyone any other questions for Emily at all Thank you. All right. Thank you. All right. Now. We'll do 1.9 mayor's announcements. All right. Good evening everybody. Thanks for being here This Monday evening, I'm gonna keep it relatively quick because we do have a long day and we've got a long agenda So I'm just gonna jump right into it and do some proclamations. So this is the fun part. All right. So first one I'll read both of them out to you first proclamation whereas President Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation on January 1st 1863 Declaring the slaves in the Confederate territory Officially free paving the way for the passing of the 13th amendment which formally abolished slavery in the United States of America And whereas word about getting the signing of the emancipation proclamation was delayed by some two and a half years to June 19th 1865 and reaching authorities in African-Americans in the South and Southwest in the United States And whereas on June 19th has been a special meeting to the African-American community And it's officially called Juneteenth combining the words of June and 19th And is the oldest known public celebration of the end in slavery in the United States And whereas Juneteenth commemorates African-American freedom and celebrates the success gained through education and greater opportunity And whereas on a larger scale celebration of Juneteenth reminds each and every one of us The promise of freedom equality and opportunity are at the core of the American dream Now therefore I Ryan Sornsson mayor of the city Sheboygan do hereby proclaim June 19th 2021 as Juneteenth day And I would present this proclamation to pastor Michael Thomas And as well as other members of the black American community outreach. So if you want to come on up Present you this proclamation on behalf of the city and if you'd like to say a few words As the president of the black American community outreach, I would like to say Thank you to mayor Ryan To the city common council, you know Lots of people say that they care and they say that they should support and Then there are those who actually show that they care and show that they support I think that this is a great show And so We at the black American community outreach are gonna do our best to continue to uplift the entire Community in which we live in and I hope that you all will come out on June 19th and celebrate Juneteenth day with us. Thank you very much All right next one Whereas Sheboygan County the city Sheboygan is a community full of diversity and whereas the city of Sheboygan recognizes the importance of equality and freedom and Whereas we as a nation have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969 And whereas the movement towards equal rights for lesbians gays bisexual transgender People still carry on with so much more progress to be made and whereas everybody should be able to live free without fear of Prejudice discrimination violence or hatred based on who they are as a person And whereas the city of Sheboygan is dedicated to fostering a community of acceptance regardless of one sexual orientation or gender identity And whereas June is celebrated as LGBTQ plus pride month all over the globe and now therefore I Ryan Sorenson mayor of the city Sheboygan do hereby proclaim June 2021 as LGBTQ plus pride month and I will Present this proclamation to the Sheboygan County LGBTQ Alliance so Carolyn come on up and other members of the Alliance come on up as well Mayor thank you so much the Sheboygan County LGBTQ Alliance exists to raise awareness of the diversity of the LGBTQ community Address the needs of our queer residents and build solidarity and allyship and support action for intersectional justice We envision a community that is welcoming safe and informed Two days ago with the Alliance hosted Sheboygan's second annual pride celebration Virtually this year and we heard personal stories and messages from a series of local LGBTQ plus residents I hope many of you were able to tune in but if you weren't you can find the recording on our Facebook page one of the major projects of the Sheboygan County LGBTQ Alliance is working on is organizing a comprehensive LGBTQ resource guide that something that has never been done in Sheboygan County and in addition to that We're focused on outreach to employers educators Healthcare providers and community leaders so that we can be more responsive and proactive in addressing the needs of our community We're really excited about what's to come and though we're still an all-volunteer community-based organization We want to evolve into the go-to local resource for LGBTQ community members and our allies I'll just close by saying progress can often seem slow or difficult to measure But it means something to have formal public support of the queer community at the city leadership level I can tell you having been privileged to be the officiant of the first legal same-sex marriage in Sheboygan County seven years ago this week and Also now to have the honor to represent the Sheboygan County LGBTQ Alliance as its chair Tonight represents progress and here tonight with me are Jamie Lammers and Kate Krause two of the co-founders of the Sheboygan County LGBTQ Alliance and I know that each of us has experienced real setbacks and discrimination as members of the local queer community This won't be the last time you'll see the alliance in these chambers as we continue to push for full equality for the LGBTQ community in Sheboygan And so while there's still a lot of work to do we're really pleased to join you tonight to celebrate progress.
