Good evening and welcome. I call to order the Lake Havasu City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 27th, 2026 at 5 30 p.m. We'll have our invocation from Pastor Kay Zimmerman from City on a Hill International Church, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Carol Arsilla and Rita Purser with the Havasu Stitchers Quilt Guild. Good evening. Good evening. Father God, we just thank you. We thank you that you're our God. We thank you that you watch over this city. We thank you that you have great plans for this city. And we thank you, Father God, that each one of us has a part. And I pray, Father God, a spirit of unity in this city that we'll support one another, God. Pray for one another and work together for your plan and your purpose for your glory, Lord. And I thank you for it. I thank you for our mayor and the council, each one leading the city, our fire chief, police chief. I thank you, God. And we're just going to decree tonight, as you told us to decree over the city. I decree over the city of Lake Havasu City, that this city shall be a city of righteousness that honors God in all her ways. A city of hope to all her people and all those who come here. A city of light where darkness finds no room to hide. A city of love that prospers in all her ways, providing prosperity and goodwill to all her people as well as those surrounding her. And a city of peace to all who dwell here. Amen. And to the Republic for which it stands. Hello. Thank you for letting us come and speak before the council today. I'm Carol Arcello. This is Rita Purser. We're with the Havasu Stitchers Quilt Guild here in Lake Havasu. We have about 182 members. But the exciting thing is that which is coming up, not this weekend, next weekend, February 5th through the 7th. We are having our biannual, which is every two years, not every twice a year. But every two years we have a huge quilt show with about 150 quilts. It starts Thursday at noon. The mayor is going to be there. He's going to pick his favorite quilt, which he usually does, and do a proclamation for us, which we really appreciate. Thank you so much for supporting us. And there will be several ribbons. We did have a display of our underwater challenge over at City Hall. I don't know how many people were able to see it, but that was really out of the box thinking for quilting. Um and very spectacular. Our quilters did a great job. That will also be at our quilt show. So please come and join us Thursday, noon to four on February 5th, the 6th and 7th, Friday and Saturday. It is nine to four. And we have two great food trucks, True Eats and Have a Hog. So thank you. Thank you so much for being here. And uh the talent that uh your members have is quite amazing. So I encourage everyone to go check out all of the great works that you do. Thank you again for being here this evening.
