C

D

um It's either gonna be an IDC or Falcon I'm gonna see who can give us a better.

D

We always sort of my old one and we always have a great turnout, I always say for all the food and beverages on my own. So we could get ID to your Falcon, have more space.

F

D

We kind of have have outgrown the space at my old one like we've, had it there since 2019 and it get it's gotten bigger and bigger every year, but if we could have more comfortable space um and maybe have them spot too much, that would be great. I mean I, don't mind sponsoring it, but it would be nice to I've never been to one. Can you tell me what that is about or what is.

C

It yeah for the for the past.

D

Here's what we've done is um I've been I've organized like a panel of women in either business or like last year. We had um two women entrepreneurs and then one principal and then just talk about. We just ask them like a series of questions about. You know how they started.

D

Like affect them and their job, or even just um being women in Laredo and and barriers and challenges that they've overcome.

F

D

So we've had a really really good turnout. uh One year we did do it on a Saturday. We had workshops.

D

Eating things how to get funding, and that was really really good. um We can do that again. I, don't mind it's just more programming, but we break up into a small groups and we did like two larger panels and then everybody breaks a bunch of group in the in the beginning in the middle and the end, so it just more programming, but it's really cool. We always have a really good turnout, so um I did want to open up registration, I, think it's better when we have it uh registration open.

D

So we can have like a head count, so we will open up registration on February 1st and you open it too. So whoever yeah and the city will put it on their website. Yeah.

C

Oh see this is we're going to be inviting the lady Market. uh Maybe I feel like conflicts on how, like the main steps on how to start a small.

C

Like either a link or something maybe like a template of the things well, if.

D

We look at the lady market, then I mean it might even be better to do it on a Saturday, so that there's more time to access the vendors and then we'll have more tailored workshops. But we can have the committee.

That's her name, and maybe we I told her. Maybe she can come next to me. Tell us what is what can be done and what cannot be done or what is allowed to tell me that we really can't pushed them to vote and I said. No, that's not the idea that we want to get across. We just want to be there, invite them to come um push the boarding right or we want to come and talk to them about. You know um what they have available.

C

As a citizen, I mean there is an objective or a former student that was going to become a mayor, and you don't really require that, so we just want to bring awareness of what they can do, what they can take part into um and maybe like give them a template, like you know, provide the numbers like these are the numbers that you can like you know in this category, like how many register, how many.

C

I, don't know how to go about it within the district. She said that we would have to contact the actual campus in the fall, because that's when they have the voting registration foods and then from there like you know, we might have also have a boat and just.
