Yucca District Weekly News
March 4, 2021
Hello Everyone,

This week we got more good news on the vaccine front. Anyone 55+ is now eligible to receive the vaccine. This is such great news and means that we are making progress in getting everyone who wants vaccinated the opportunity to do so. Click here for more information from AZDHS.

Budget workshops are continuing, and I believe we are making good progress. There is much to go through, and some issues take up more time than others, but it is imperative that Council carefully and thoughtfully consider each funding category. There are still a couple of budget workshops left and I would encourage everyone to watch a workshop or two. Links to past workshops can be found below.

At this past Tuesday’s budget workshop, we had a very special guest – Los Angeles Dodgers star Andre Ethier stopped by. And he brought the World Series Trophy with him! What an honor to see the trophy up close and personal after the LA Dodgers won the 2020 MLB World Series Championship. If you didn’t already know, Andre spent some of his elementary school years right here in Glendale. On a related note, Camelback Ranch is open. Game schedules for both the Dodgers and the White Sox, plus information on attending a game during COVID, can be found in the newsletter. 
Have a great weekend!
