Candidate forums will soon be blooming all across Garden Grove.
At Tuesday’s meeting, the Garden Grove City Council gave its approval to forums at two city-owned facilities.
The council voted to allow the Vietnamese Interfaith Council to host such an event at the Courtyard Center in the Village Green Park on Saturday, Oct. 6, from 1-5 p.m.
Additionally, it gave approval to the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce to hold its candidate forum at the Community Meeting Center on Wednesday, Oct. 1o from 6-9:30 p.m.
A third forum, organized by the Central Garden Grove Neighborhood Association, will be held at 12361 Meade St. on Oct. 6 at 3 p.m.
At a short meeting that lasted a little over half an hour, the council also approved a resolution on behalf of the Vietnam War Museum of America to the U.S. Army asking for the loan of a “Huey” helicopter. Funds are now being raised to build the museum in a former car dealership in Harbor Boulevard.
The next council meeting is set for Oct. 9.
Was the third forum last Saturday? Why would they have two candidate forums in one day, at the same time? Or, is it a typo? There’s a typo on the date where the second forum is mentioned.
