Thank you for your testimony.
1:24:19
I look forward to continuing to work with you and our upcoming meeting and just encourage you to use the council for a lot of your community engagement work.
1:24:30
As an example, HPD would come into our districts.
1:24:36
Oath works directly with council members to host events and so you mentioned mobile clinics.
1:24:43
You know, I think it's helpful when council members feel a part of the work that you're doing and can get the resources directly into the communities that they serve.
1:24:56
And I know that you all do your thing with community engagement but it is helpful when council members actually see the work that you're doing and I think that you kind of do your work quietly in a vacuum so it's hard to engage.

I would would say that we have been lifting the voice of CCHR and we will continue to do so.
1:25:20
I will welcome your partnership when I think next month I do the Queen's community service week and I will welcome your partnership in walking the neighborhoods that you represent and doing the work that we go out and do on a daily basis.

1:25:38
If you invite me, I'd come.
1:25:40
I don't get invites.
1:25:43
You're welcome.

Have a good day.
