One of our current LPC goals is to become more visible in the community and educate the community about our functions and goals. To move towards this goal we held a screening event for The Raising of America. There was a guided discussion immediately following the screening. This was an opportunity to help create an awareness of the LPC and our mission and vision. I also presented a PowerPoint to discuss the history and functions of the LPC to Madera County Board of Supervisors and audience members. Each year our LPC board members plan to attend and present at the BOS meetings to help become more visible in the community. |
