Under the Healthy Cities Initiative promise to keep Lynwood
residents active and involved, the City of Lynwood has kept its word this year
by not only reinvigorating its annual Weight Loss Challenge earlier this spring,
but has breathed new life into all of its summer programming, including
treating residents to a bigger, better 4th of July Spectacular and Carnival,
blockbuster movies for its Movies in the Park Summer Program, more variety
to choose from at its newly titled Farmer’s Market and Street Fair, and not to
mention the improvements and renovations at both of the City’s parks and at
its Olympic-sized Natatorium. It is very clear, that this summer, there will be
little time to do nothing within the City.
Summer fun in July launches upward on - you guessed it - the 4th
of July, as the City of Lynwood celebrates its annual 4th of July Spectacular
and Carnival from 3 to 10 p.m. at Lynwood City Park. The City’s annual 4th
of July Spectacular brings out more than 8,000 people every year to enjoy a
day full of surprise activities, including carnival rides, face painting, DJs, rock
climbing, food vendors and of course, a spectacular fireworks display at 9
p.m.
Families can then flock over to another park on Thursdays this
summer through September 3, 2015 as the City’s Community Development
Department and the City’s Recreation and Community Services Department,
have joined forces to cook up some more fun with the City’s Farmer’s Market
& Street Fair and Movies in the Park series together at Yvonne Burke/Ham
Park on Atlantic Avenue. Families can arrive at the park by 4 p.m., enjoy the
Farmer’s Market’s fresh produce, freshly cooked foods, nuts, coffees, novelties,
shaved ice, flavored popcorn, etc., and stay for the Movies in the Park, which
begins at 7:45 p.m. Families are encouraged to come out and support the
Farmer’s Market and watch a free movie under the stars.
On Friday, July 24, 2015, residents will also be treated to a special
night of Mariachi Under the Stars with featured guest lecturer Gregorio Luke,
director of Art in Communities and Schools. A Murals Under the Stars multimedia presentation, the City of Lynwood, Plaza Mexico and Luke will treat
the community to an evening of folkloric performances, art, musical guests,
mariachi music, its instruments and a lecture on its history.
The City’s Recreation and Community Services Department is also
cooking up a storm this year with its “Summer Food Rocks; Summer Food
Services Program,” which provides daily meals for children during summer
vacation. The program is free for youth under 18 years of age. Please call
(310) 603-0220 Ext. 319 for more information.
Whether it is something fun, cultural or delightfully edible, the
City of Lynwood is always looking to prepare something wonderful for its
families. All of the City’s events and programs are great community unifiers
and this summer they are being created in hopes of bringing people out of
their homes to enjoy the outdoors together as families.

KID MAYOR LEADING THE WAY
EL PEQUEÑO ALCALDE DE JUNIO LIDERANDO EL CAMINO
Eleven-year-old Angel Daniel Rodriguez, a
student in Roosevelt Elementary School’s Special
Needs Program, got the surprise of his life upon
being named the City of Lynwood’s June Kid Mayor.
Rodriguez enthusiastically called June’s first City
Council meeting to order with his family members,
teacher and principal proudly sitting in the audience.
The young Rodriguez captivated everyone in the Council Chambers with his ability at
the dais. His mother Magdalena Diaz, school principal Sandra Verduzco and his teacher
Christiana Okeke were delighted with his performance. “I knew Daniel was the right
candidate for this,” said Verduzco. “Not only is he academically achieving all of his
goals, but he’s a born leader among his classmates.” Diagnosed with severe Autism
at around 3 years of age, Diaz said that she was afraid that her little boy couldn’t
hear or speak. But as it turned out, it was neither. “Less than six years later, Daniel
can understand everything. He can speak, follow directions, and now I can’t get him
to stop talking,” said Diaz with a smile. “Daniel proves to all of us that children with
special needs can be leaders, too.”
The Kid Mayor Program gives 12 star Lynwood Unified School District
students the opportunity to serve as the junior Mayor of the City for one month. Daniel
is the sixth Kid Mayor chosen this year. “Daniel amazes me every day, but when he
amazes other people, including people who don’t understand Autism or who don’t
have the patience to understand Autism, it means so much more,” said Diaz.

Como parte de la promesa de la Iniciativa de Ciudades Saludables de
mantener a los habitantes de Lynwood activos y participativos, la Ciudad de
Lynwood ha cumplido con su palabra este año no solo al revitalizar su Desafío
de Pérdida de Peso anual a comienzos de la primavera, sino también al darle
una nueva vida a sus programas de verano, que incluyen un mejor y más grande
Carnaval y Espectáculo del 4 de julio, películas taquilleras para su Programa
de Verano de Películas en el Parque, más variedad para elegir en el Mercado
de Agricultores y Feria, que acaba de ser renombrado, y eso sin mencionar las
mejoras y renovaciones en ambos parques de la Ciudad y en su Piscina Olímpica.
Está claro que este verano habrá poco tiempo para no hacer nada la ciudad.
La diversión de verano en julio se lanza, sí, el 4 de julio, con la
celebración anual del Carnaval y Espectáculo del 4 de julio de la Ciudad de
Lynwood de 3 a 10 p.m. en el Lynwood City Park. El Espectáculo Anual del 4
de julio de la Ciudad atrae a más de 8,000 personas cada año para disfrutar
de un día lleno de actividades sorpresa, que incluyen atracciones de carnaval,
pinturas de rostro, DJ, escaladas en roca, vendedores de comida y, por supuesto,
una espectacular muestra de fuegos artificiales a las 9 p.m.
Las familias luego pueden dirigirse a otro parque los jueves este
verano hasta el 3 de septiembre de 2015, ya que el Departamento de Desarrollo
Comunitario de la Ciudad y el Departamento de Recreación y Servicios
Comunitarios han unido fuerzas para cocinar algo más de diversión juntos con
el primer Mercado de Agricultores y Feria y la Serie de Películas en el Parque
de la Ciudad en Yvonne Burke/Ham Park sobre Atlantic Avenue. Las familias
pueden llegar al parque a las 4 p.m., disfrutar de los productos frescos, comidas
recién hechas, nueces, café, novedades, raspados y palomitas de maíz que
ofrece el Mercado de Agricultores, y quedarse para la Serie de Películas en el
Parque que comienza a las 7:45 p.m. Se invita a las familias a que vengan,
brinden su apoyo al Mercado de Agricultores y miren una película gratis bajo
las estrellas.
El viernes 24 de julio de 2015, los habitantes disfrutarán de una
noche especial de Mariachi Bajo las Estrellas con la participación del orador
invitado, Gregorio Luke, director de Art in Communities and Schools [Arte
en Comunidades y Escuelas]. Con una presentación multimedia de Murales
Bajo las Estrellas, la Ciudad de Lynwood, Plaza Mexico y Luke agasajarán a la
comunidad con una noche de actuaciones folclóricas, arte, invitados musicales,
música mariachi, sus instrumentos y una charla sobre su historia.
El Departamento de Recreación y Servicios Comunitarios de la Ciudad
también está preparando lo mejor este año con su programa “Summer Food
Rocks; Summer Food Services Program,” que brinda comidas diarias para
niños durante las vacaciones de verano. El programa es gratuito para jóvenes
menores de 18 años de edad. Por favor, llame al (310) 603-0220, Ext. 319 para
más información.
Ya sea algo divertido, cultural o sabroso, la Ciudad de Lynwood
siempre busca preparar algo maravilloso para sus familias. Todos los eventos
y programas de la Ciudad son muy buenos para unir a la comunidad, y este
verano se crean con el objetivo de hacer salir a las personas de sus casas para
disfrutar del aire libre juntos como familias.
Angel Daniel Rodriguez, un estudiante de once años del Programa para niños
con Necesidades Especiales de Roosevelt Elementary School, recibió la sorpresa de su
vida al ser nombrado Pequeño Alcalde de la Ciudad de Lynwood para el mes de junio.
Rodriguez realizó con entusiasmo la apertura de la primera asamblea de junio del
Municipio con su familia, maestra y directora sentados orgullosos entre la audiencia. El
joven Rodriguez cautivó a todos los miembros del Municipio con su capacidad durante
la junta. Su madre, Magdalena Diaz; la directora de la escuela, Sandra Verduzco; y su
maestra, Christiana Okeke se maravillaron con su desempeño. “Sabía que Daniel era
el candidato adecuado para esto”, comentó Verduzco. “No solo logra todas sus metas
académicas, sino que es un líder nato entre sus compañeros de clase.” Daniel fue
diagnosticado con autismo grave cuando tenía alrededor de 3 años, y Diaz dijo que
tenía miedo de que su pequeño hijo no pudiera escuchar o hablar nunca. Sin embargo,
resultó que no ocurrió ninguna de esas cosas. “Menos de seis años después, Daniel
puede entender todo. Puede hablar, seguir instrucciones y ahora no puedo hacer que
deje de hablar,” comentó Diaz con una sonrisa. “Daniel nos demuestra a todos que los
niños con necesidades especiales pueden ser líderes.”
El Programa Pequeño Alcalde brinda a 12 estudiantes del Distrito Escolar
Unificado de Lynwood la oportunidad de actuar como Alcaldes Junior de la Ciudad por un
mes. Rodriguez es el sexto estudiante seleccionado este año. “Daniel me sorprende cada
día, pero cuando sorprende a otras personas, incluso a personas que no comprenden
el autismo o que no tienen la paciencia para comprender el autismo, significa mucho
más,” comento’ Diaz.

SUMMER FARMERS MARKET & STREET FAIR ARRIVES
JULY 2 - SEPTEMBER 3 FROM 4 TO 8 P.M.
This year, the City of Lynwood is adding Street Fair to the title of its highly anticipated
Farmers Market due to the abundance of novelty and non-food vendors signing up to be a
part of the City’s third annual 10-week summer program. Offering the City’s multicultural
community a unique opportunity to get out of the house and take a stroll in the City’s third
annual Farmers Market & Street Fair, this event brings together an array of vendors who
specialize in fresh produce, savory foods, sweet treats and novelty products.
Taking place every Thursday at Yvonne Burke-Ham Park, 11832 Atlantic Ave. this year’s
Farmers Market & Street Fair starts on July 2 and ends September 3, 2015. Other components
of the Farmers Market & Street Fair include prepared foods such as tacos, tamales, hot dogs,
funnel cakes, kettle popcorn, shaved ice and a variety of refreshing beverages. Non-food
vendors will offer jewelry, hair accessories and other novelty items, as well as information
stations.
In its third year, the Farmers Market & Street Fair has proven to be a huge success; the
community loves it and all it has to offer and most importantly, it gives families time to enjoy
the outdoors together. The City’s Farmers Market coincides with the City’s annual Movies in
the Park summer program on Thursday nights as well - both events compliment the City’s
efforts to encourage healthy, active lifestyles in Lynwood as part of its participation in the
state-wide Healthy Cities Initiative.

SAFETY
CAN I FILL UP MY POOL?
NO, YOU CAN’T.
If you’re wondering what the answer
to this question is, actually, the answer is NO,
you cannot fill up your pool. According to the
City of Lynwood’s Ordinance, residents cannot
initially fill up their pools now or ever – until
the entire state of California is out of this
drought.
The City of Lynwood has officially
notified its residents, businesses and school
district of the state’s mandatory water
conservation order that will require every water
consumer in the state to seriously start shutting
their tap and reducing their water use.
Whether residents have underground
or above the ground pools at their homes, based
on the City’s ordinance, pools cannot be initially
filled. So if you have a pool and it is empty, then
it has to stay empty and you cannot fill it. Pools
that are already filled can only be filled up to one
foot of water at a time, and that’s the maximum
amount, nothing more than a foot.The City of
Lynwood is aware that summer is right around
the corner and days might get hotter, but the
state has already declared a state of emergency,
and cities like Lynwood have to abide by the
Governor’s orders.
Can the City tell when a resident fills
a pool? Yes, the City can tell by the amount of
units of water used by that resident regularly.
On average, every home uses about 30 units
of water, but when suddenly there’s a spike in
units by 20 or 30 units more, then either there
is a huge leak on the property or that resident
filled up a pool, said a City official. “Contrary to
what people think, the City knows how much
water each homeowner or business uses every
month,” said the official. “The City as a whole
has to reduce its water usage of potable urban
water, so it is vital that everyone does his or her
part to conserve water.”
In fact, through October, Lynwood
residents can only water their lawns twice a
week, on Monday and on Thursday between
6 p.m. and 9 a.m. From November through
March, residents will only be allowed to water
on Thursdays between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m.
For those of you who have been
following the City’s water conservation
guidelines, such as not washing down paved
sidewalks and driveways, not watering outdoor
landscapes that cause excess runoffs, not
washing vehicles without shut-off nozzled
hoses, and not irrigating 48 hours following
rainfall, can add to the list, not filling up your
pools this summer.
Any questions can be directed to (310)

SUMMER HOME SAFETY TIPS
TURF IT OUT! DROUGHT TOLERANT
LANDSCAPES
Times certainly have changed. Ten years ago, like solar panels, drought-tolerant
landscaping was tough to sell. While most homeowners still love their green lawns and backyards,
with the state’s longest drought in history looming over all of our heads, many are turning to
drought-tolerant landscaping as a way to conserve water and save costs.
California Is currently facing prolonged dry conditions. Governor Jerry Brown has declared
a statewide drought and has asked all Californians to lower their water use by 20 percent. Residents
in the City of Lynwood are being encouraged to cut their water use, and at the same time they’re
being encouraged to put their water-thirsty lawns and trees to rest and replace them with lowwater use plants and drought-tolerant trees and shrubs.
Drought-tolerant landscaping can be beautiful. Many people are wary of droughttolerant gardening and landscaping because they’re concerned about the costs. Because most water
consumption in a household occurs outdoors, removing turf and replacing it with drought tolerant
plants or a permeable surface will help save money, water and add curb appeal to any home.
In fact, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the Central Basin
Municipal Water District are both making it more lucrative for its customers to replace water thirsty
turf grass with drought-tolerant landscaping by offering rebates of $2 or more per square foot of
existing turf removed. Water customers located within Metropolitan’s 5,200-square-mile, six-county
service area are eligible for rebates on water-saving landscape devices. Rebates require a two-step
approval and application process, but in the end, if you qualify, you will have helped to save water,
money, and refreshed your landscape.
Eligibility Information:
•
•
•
•
•
Rebates will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis until funding is exhausted.
Only one turf removal rebate is allowed per property.
Synthetic turf is eligible for rebates unless prohibited by your water agency’s rebate terms and
conditions.
Projects cannot include replacements with live turf or turf-looking plants.
Metropolitan reserves the right to verify and inspect removal of turf grass.
For more information, go to bewaterwise.com. To start a project and apply for the rebates,
go to socalwatersmart.com.
Lynwood Residents: send us a photo of your Drought-Tolerant Landscape for a chance to
win drought-tolerant devices for your home. Send photos to [email protected].
Sin duda, los tiempos han cambiado. Hace diez años, como sucedía con los paneles solares,
resultaba difícil convencer a las personas de adoptar jardines tolerantes a las sequías. Si bien la
mayoría de los propietarios de viviendas aún prefieren el césped y los patios verdes, con la amenaza
de la sequía más larga en la historia del estado frente a nuestras narices, muchos están recurriendo
a paisajes de jardín tolerantes a las sequías como una manera de conservar agua y ahorrar costos.
Actualmente, California se está enfrentando a condiciones prolongadas de sequía. El
Gobernador Jerry Brown ha declarado una sequía en todo el estado y les ha pedido a todos los
californianos que reduzcan su consumo de agua en un 20 por ciento. Se alienta a los residentes de la
Ciudad de Lynwood a que reduzcan su consumo de agua, y también a que dejen de utilizar césped y
árboles que requieren mucha agua y los reemplacen por plantas que requieren poca agua y árboles y
arbustos tolerantes a las sequías.
Un jardín armado especialmente para que sea tolerante a las sequías puede ser hermoso.
Muchas personas no confían mucho en la jardinería y el paisajismo tolerante a las sequías porque
les preocupan los costos. Debido a que la mayor parte del consumo de agua en una vivienda ocurre
en exteriores, quitar el césped y reemplazarlo por plantas que toleran sequías o por una superficie
permeable ayudará a ahorrar dinero, agua y hará que la fachada y el patio delantero de cualquier
hogar se vean más atractivos.
De hecho, el Distrito Metropolitano del Agua del sur de California y el Distrito Municipal
del Agua de la Cuenca Central están ofreciendo reembolsos de $2 o más por pie cuadrado de césped
existente retirado, de manera que el reemplazo del césped que requiere mucha agua por un paisaje
de jardín tolerante a las sequías resulte más lucrativo para sus clientes. Los clientes del servicio
de agua ubicados dentro del área de servicios de 5,200 millas cuadradas que se extiende por seis
condados del Metropolitan son elegibles para recibir reembolsos para sus dispositivos de paisajismo
con poco consumo de agua. Los reembolsos requieren un proceso de solicitud y aprobación de dos
pasos, pero al final, si usted califica, habrá ayudado a ahorrar agua y dinero, y habrá renovado su
jardín.

Los reembolsos se emitirán en orden de llegada hasta que se agoten los fondos.
Solo se permite un reembolso por eliminación de césped por vivienda.
El césped sintético es elegible para reembolso a menos que esté prohibido conforme a los
términos y condiciones de reembolso de su agencia de agua.
Los proyectos no pueden incluir reemplazo por césped real o plantas similares.
Metropolitan se reserva el derecho a verificar e inspeccionar la eliminación del césped.

reembolsos, visite socalwatersmart.com.

Summer is upon us and plenty of people will be
packing up the car and heading off for a summer vacation, but
that sometimes means your home will be unprotected. That’s
why we offer some tips for keeping your home safe while on
vacation.
1. Ask a friend to watch over your home while you’re gone,
especially if you plan to be gone for a week or more.
2. Be sure you don’t advertise the fact that your house is
empty on social media. Posting the dates you’re going to be
gone is unsafe.

SAFETY
SUMMER CURFEW
IN EFFECT
Remember
those
television
commercials that asked parents if they knew
where their children were after 10 p.m.? The
commercials went like this: “It’s 10 p.m., do
you know where your children are, do you
know who they are playing with, and do you
know what they’re playing with? Do you know
what they did in school or after school? Do you
know why they stay in their rooms so long?
Don’t just have kids, be a parent and know
where your children are at all times.” It’s been
a few too many years since those commercials
have aired, but those very questions - are more
relevant today than ever.
With the advent of social media
websites, parents today also need to ask
themselves if they know who their kids are
talking to online, on their cell phones, or who
they’re chatting with via X-Box chatrooms.
Even though your child may be safely at home,
they can still be at risk thanks to the many
forms of devices connected to the Internet.
Let’s face it, it’s important for parents
to be able to say YES to all of these questions.
As parents, you should know where your
children are after school, who their friends are,
what they did in school and even what they
have in their backpacks. And you definitely
should know where your kids are if they’re not
home by 10 p.m.
With the arrival of summer vacation,
it’s understandable that kids don’t want to be
home, but as a parent you need to know where
your kids are and what they’re doing at all
times. Oftentimes, law enforcement has to get
involved and parents will commonly respond
that their kids aren’t bad kids and that they are
incapable of committing crimes. But honestly,
how would they know, if they don’t know
where their kids are while they’re at work? As
a parent, you need to know. Get involved. Ask
questions. Get to know your kid’s friends. Look
through their backpacks. Most importantly,
get to know your kids. Don’t ask questions
when it’s too late.
In the City of Lynwood children under
18 years of age CANNOT be out after 10 p.m.
Section 22-2 of the Lynwood Municipal Code
states that it is unlawful for any minor to
loiter, wander or aimlessly drive or ride around
between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on
any day. It’s called a curfew, and even though
it is the law every single day throughout the
year, it will be enforced this summer. As a
parent, you should know where your kids are
at all times, and know that after 10 p.m. they
should be at home.
3. If you have curtains, keep them how they normally are. If your
curtains are closed, leave them that way. If you’re an open curtain
type of person, leaving them open halfway is alright.
4. Be sure to put your lights on a timer so it looks like someone is

OPENING OF THE NATATORIUM
R
esidents in the City of Lynwood can
enjoy its Olympic-sized swimming
pool six days of the week this
summer. With the state’s mandatory
water conservation efforts underway,
and limitations in filling personal
recreational pools, why not bring kids
to the City’s very own indoor swimming
pool where they will be under lifeguard
supervision. After months of being
closed for renovations, the City of
Lynwood’s Natatorium re-opened
recently just in time for the summer
months. Repairs were made on the
water tank, floor joints were re-caulked,
and swim lanes have been freshly
painted. The Lynwood Natatorium looks
brand new, and not to mention, that
it remains heated at 85 degrees at all
times. The Lynwood Natatorium is open
for recreational swim Monday through
Friday from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., and from
3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The pool is also open on
Saturdays for recreational swim from 1
to 3 p.m. Swimming lessons take place
from 9 a.m. to Noon, and from 6 to 9
p.m. Monday through Friday.
THIRD GRADERS TOUR CITY HALL
M
ore than 100 third graders from Wilson Elementary School in Lynwood took a tour of City Hall last month to see
firsthand how government works as part of their end-of-the-school-year lesson on government. Led by several
school teachers and City staff, the third graders got a chance to walk through the halls and offices of City Hall, greet
City employees and ask questions. A total of five third grade classes participated in the City Hall tour. The request to bring
the students to City Hall came from Mr. James T. Ricketts, a third grade teacher at Wilson Elementary School. He and a few
other teachers have been teaching their students about the history of Lynwood, how it was founded, about the farmlands,
the railroad, and everything pre-1950s.
PHOTO OF THE MONTH
F
or the first time in the Century Sheriff ’s Station’s history, the
public was allowed to tour the facility during its first Open
House on May 30, 2015. More than 4,000 people attended
this massive event where the Sheriff ’s Station opened its doors
to the public for a family day filled with games, entertainment,
food, community organizations and a display of all of the
services offered by the Sheriff ’s and Fire departments. Along
with an array of vendors that included the Los Angeles County
Public Library who gave away more than 500 children’s books, to
Forever 21, who donated more than 2,000 giveaways, attendees
enjoyed face painting, pictures with the horses, the camel, the
helicopter, the Laker girls, in the SWAT Truck, on the motorcycle,
on the fire department’s Shakey-Quakey Mobile, and they were
treated to an hour of the famous Tommy the Clown and his
dance crew. Century Sheriff ’s officials held the Open House in
hopes of strengthening their community outreach. This year’s
event was such a huge success that officials are now working on
next year’s Open House.

SECOND ANNUAL MARIACHI UNDER THE STARS
SEGUNDA PRESENTACIÓN DE MARIACHI BAJO LAS ESTRELLAS
On Friday, July 24, 2015 Yvonne Burke/Ham Park in the City
of Lynwood will be turned into a musical and artistic pavilion as the
City presents its Second Annual Mariachi Under the Stars Multimedia
Presentation featuring renowned lecturer Gregorio Luke, director of
the non-profit Art in Communities and Schools (ARCOS).
Luke, famous among the museum curator circuit world,
selected the City of Lynwood to be among 10 cities chosen in 2015 to
host one of his multimedia Murals Under the Stars presentations. Last
year, the City of Altadena chose a presentation on the world of Miguel
Covarrubias, Santa Ana on Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and Long Beach
on Ernest Hemingway. The City of Lynwood, however, elected to host a
presentation by Luke on the History of Mariachi Music – a presentation
so successful that other cities chose the theme for 2015. He’s bringing
it back to Lynwood for the second year, and will be accompanied by
Mariachi Adrian Alfaro, sponsored by Plaza Mexico. As a precursor to
Luke’s presentation, attendees will be treated to folkloric performances
by two of Lynwood’s favorites, Alma Latina and Club Guadalajara, along
with performances by special guests.
Luke’s non-profit ARCOS works toward bringing art and
culture directly to communities at no cost to the City. With the use
of a custom made inflatable screen (42’ x 22’), and two 5,000 lumen
projectors, Luke’s lecture discusses Mariachi music, its instruments and
its origins. “This will be a memorable experience for everyone,” said
Luke. “Everyone loves Mariachi music, but through this experience
people will gain a better understanding of its history.” This event is free
and open to the public.
The Second Annual Mariachi Under the Stars Presentation
takes place on Friday, July 24, 2015 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at Yvonne
Burke/Ham Park, 11832 Atlantic Ave., Lynwood.
El viernes 24 de julio de 2015, Yvonne Burke/Ham Park en la
Ciudad de Lynwood se convertirá en un pabellón musical y artístico
cuando la Ciudad presente su Segunda Presentación Multimedia Anual
de Mariachi Bajo las Estrellas, con la participación del reconocido orador
Gregorio Luke, director de Art in Communities and Schools (ARCOS).
Luke, famoso en el círculo de curadores de museos, seleccionó
a la Ciudad de Lynwood para que sea una de las 10 ciudades elegidas
en el 2015 como sedes de una de sus presentaciones multimedia de
Murales Bajo las Estrellas. El año pasado, la Ciudad de Altadena eligió
una presentación sobre el mundo de Miguel Covarrubias, Santa Ana
sobre Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, y Long Beach sobre Ernest Hemingway.
La Ciudad de Lynwood, sin embargo, eligió contar con una presentación
de Luke sobre la Historia de la Música Mariachi: una presentación tan
exitosa que otras ciudades eligieron este tema en 2015.
Por el segundo año, esta presentación estará acompañada
una vez más por el Mariachi de Adrian Alfaro, patrocinado por Plaza
Mexico. Asistentes tambien podrán ver presentaciones folclóricas.
La organización sin fines de lucro de Luke, ARCOS, trabaja
para llevar el arte y la cultura directamente a las comunidades sin costo
para la Ciudad. Con una pantalla inflable a medida (42’ x 22’) y dos
proyectores de 5000 lúmenes, la charla de Luke tratará sobre la música
Mariachi, sus instrumentos y sus orígenes. “Será una experiencia
inolvidable para todos,” dijo Luke. “A todos les gusta la música Mariachi,
pero a través de esta experiencia, las personas obtendrán un mejor
entendimiento de su historia.” Este evento es gratis para ell publico.
La Segunda Presentación de Mariachi Bajo las Estrellas se
llevará a cabo el viernes 24 de julio de 2015 desde las 7 hasta 9:30 p.m.
en Yvonne Burke/Ham Park, 11832 Atlantic Ave., Lynwood.
