Hawthorne Happenings
News for the City of Good
Neighbors from an Old Guy
named Norb Huber
New Tax Rate
Several people have asked me
when Hawthorne’s new sales tax
rate will go into effect. It may take
until March or April before the rates
are put in place. The City Council
must first certify the election results. Then
the Board of Equalization must implement
the rate adjustment and give all businesses
notice. Also, the citizens oversight committee
for Measure HH will be put into place around
this same time period. Applications for this
committee will be available in the City Clerk’s
Office in the spring.
Winter Wonderland
Spectacular
The big one is coming. We haven’t had
the big Turkey Day yet, but the holiday of
all holidays is here. The Hawthorne Parks
and Community Services Department of the
City is sponsoring a “Winter Wonderland
Spectacular” for kids of all ages on Thursday,
December 21st from 6 to 9 p.m. at Memorial
Park. There will be a snow slide, winter play
area, carnival games and prizes. Santa will
be there for photos with the kiddos. Hot
cocoa, food and much more are all on the
schedule. The cost is $5 for ages 1-11 years
and $7 for 12 years and older. So mark your
calendars. There will be a 21 day countdown
for Santa to arrive, so be on the lookout for
Santa sightings throughout Hawthorne.
Thanksgiving Luncheon
The Hawthorne Ministerial Association is
hosting a thanksgiving luncheon for seniors
and low income individuals on Thursday,
November 16th at noon at the Hawthorne
Memorial Center. The
association hosts this luncheon
annually to give our seniors a
great meal to enjoy during the
Thanksgiving holiday period.
Council members
and Chamber to
help this holiday
period
Hawthorne City Council
members and the Chamber of Commerce
will be giving away food and good cheer this
Thanksgiving and Christmas time. Council
member Angie Reyes English hosts her annual
Operation Gobble and Mayor Pro Temp Awad
gives generously to the community with turkey
and food give aways at the Hawthorne Auto
Center. The Hawthorne Chamber gives food
and toys away annual to needy families living
in Hawthorne.
Thanks Living
Every day we can wake up thankful or grumpy.
We can choose to be mad about something
or appreciate the fact that we are alive and
well. We have choices in life. God gave us
emotions. He gives us a mind to figure things
out. When we see the big picture, sometimes
things that seem so important are not that at
all. When we see close friends or loved ones
diagnosed with illnesses or diseases or when
we lose someone in our circle of friends, it
reminds us of how short life can be. A dear,
older lady at my church was called home this
past week. She was full of health and vitality
up until three weeks ago. Then it was a short
time before the Good Lord called her home
to be with Him. If we see the brevity of life,
why would we want to live our days here on
earth with a frown and be angry with others?
Be thankful this week for life and health. Let’s
live with thanksliving in our hearts. •
