Re: "INVOCATION - A local resident had been scheduled to give the invocation, following on the precedent of a secular invocation set by Karalee Hargrove at the November 14 meeting. However, the agenda lists Rev. Casey Orndorf as giving the invocation..."
I'm late in applauding Karalee Hargrove for her secular invocation (although I didn't hear/read it). I would support a 50% secular/non-secular (rotating religions/denominations) invocation. Do people sign up to be on a list to speak? Did the local resident scheduled for December 12 cancel? How does this work?
Thanks always for your info and updates about everything in 29.
Since Wright became Mayor most of the speakers have come from the Ministerial Association - he’s President and the Association Secretary coordinated a schedule with the City Clerk. But generally yes, anyone can sign up! Residents just write the City Clerk at cvillescas@29palms.org and offer to speak.
We’re not exactly sure what happened, this week. They had been scheduled to speak for some time, but then their name wasn't on the agenda. Sounds like a scheduling mix up at City Hall.
Thank you, Cindy. I've always thought that the city's religious side was too heavy. Maybe more non-affiliated people will volunteer for the job now. Not me (yet).
