Local youth organizations sought to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at City Council meetings The city is seeking local youth organizations such as school, scout, sport and other groups that are interested in the opportunity to lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of City Council meetings.
Since the beginning of 2010, different youth organizations have been starting each City Council meeting by leading the council and members of the public in the Pledge of Allegiance. The young boys and girls are introduced, receive city pins and a group photo is taken that is posted on the city’s website.
The City Council meets at 7 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of each month in the Council Chambers at City Hall, which is located at 12 Journey. Organizations interested in leading the pledge should contact Kelly Tokarski, the city’s Public Information Consultant, at 949-395-4448 or ktokarski@cityofalisoviejo.com.
