The Bakersfield Police Activities League, November 14th is hosting it’s first Kids Festival at the 4th Street PAL Center. A car show will be a part of the festivities that day. GEM member Rene Chow will be coordinating the car portion of the event and is hoping for a large GEM turnout for this affair. Please fill-out the Reg form and return it: For those of you who may not be aware of the Bakersfield Police Activities League (PAL), it is an inter-city, youth community center which offers neighborhood children a safe place to study, play sports, hangout, and just feel safe after school in neighborhoods that can feel threatening at times. This facility was built through some very generous donation from local businesses about 2 decades ago. It and its programs still rely on public donations to continue its operations. I’m sure for many of us it’s hard to understand the fearful feeling of leaving the safety that a school environment offers. But within many of our communities that is an unfortunate daily reality for many of these neighborhood children. The proceeds raised from this event will help to ensure that the kids in these communities will continue to enjoy a safe, positive environment until their parents come home from work. Let’s have a big GEM turnout for this event. Many of these kids have never had the opportunity to see cars like ours up close, or maybe even sit in a few ! Something I’m sure they will go home talking about. 6
