Hoang reminded the Council that last year the body agreed to subsidize $470 in rental fees for the Nakano Theater in order to host a Veterans Day celebration event, which was actually coordinated by the Vietnam Veterans of America, South Bay Chapter 53. This year’s event will include a program and lunch, and the commission is working to use this as an opportunity to attract the different community organizations that serve veterans in the Torrance community. “I was a part of the 2015 and 2016 celebrations and I am looking forward to this time 2017,” said Councilman Milton S. Herring. “I’m also glad to see that it will be a lunch instead of a breakfast. Although veterans don’t mind waking up early, the senior ones might like to sleep a little later.” During the most recent commission meeting in June, staff was directed to contact several organizations dedicated to serving veterans, including the Department of Veterans Affairs and the California EDD. Hoang shared that a number of other organizations will be invited Friday See City Council, page 6 Mostly Sunny 73˚/66˚ Saturday Sunny 77˚/68˚ Sunday Sunny 80˚/68˚
