On Wednesday, July 3, 2024, the Health Committee met for a Special Meeting and the following
guests attended: Desiree Molina, Chia-Chieh Hu, Mark Feng, Brian Green, Jane Kim, David
Ratto, Sara Somogyi, and Fire Chief Chen Suen.
Mayor Pro Tem Cao confirmed the guest keynote speaker at the health fair is Lieutenant
General Mary K. Izaguirre. Lieutenant Izaguirre serves as the 46th US Army Surgeon General
and the Commanding General of the United States Army Medical Command. Lieutenant
Izaguirre will be presenting at the Museum Education Center at 9:30am. The second seminar
guest speaker will be at 10am, and third seminar speaker will be at 11am.
Director of Recreation and Community Services Department Sara Somogyi (DRCSD) reported
the health fair street banner is up. DRCSD Somogyi confirmed the 40 booths are full including
the six primary sponsored booths. DRCSD Somogyi provided everyone with a draft sample
pamphlet indicating the health fair information, names of sponsors, booth locations, and other
information. The final pamphlet version will be available at the next meeting in August. Council
Member Wang suggested having volunteer ushers. DRCSD Somogyi responded by saying
there should be someone supervising the volunteers as there will be enough City staff working
at the event as well. DRCSD Somogyi asked for clarification on whether non-profit organizations
will have to pay the $300 booth fee. Mayor Pro Tem Cao and Council Member Wang agreed the
fee will be waived for the following non-profit organizations: American Red Cross, Chinatown
Service Center, Alzheimer’s Los Angeles, End Overdose, and the Arcadia Unified School
District.
Everyone in the meeting agreed to show up at 7:30am to begin setting up their booth. DRCSD
Somogyi said there will be plenty of parking outside the event including street parking if the lot is
full. Lunch will be provided for all sponsors and individuals providing consultations, but not for
the general information booths.
Lastly, Mayor Pro Tem Cao asked everyone to continue promoting the event by sharing
information via email blasts, on social media, and sending flyers to friends and family.
Mayor Pro Tem Cao adjourned the special meeting at 6:05pm to the next special meeting on
Wednesday, August 7, 2024, at 5:00pm in the Recreation Conference Room, 375 Campus
Drive, Arcadia.
