Thank you. Thank you, Madam City Clerk. I've asked Mr. Holliday to lead us in the Pledge of Alleg iance, and please remain standing by the invocation from Pastor Zach Martin from the Bridge Church. I love Zach Martin. Please stand if you're able and place your right hand over your heart. Ready? Begin. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Let's pray. Father, we thank you for the privilege that it is to live in a wonderful community like the city of Murrieta. God, we bring this meeting before you and we ask for your wisdom that it be granted to our leaders. We recognize today that responsibility is what is given to us when we are placed in authority, and today we ask that we would not see authority as power, but rather responsibility for this wonderful city that you've entrusted to us. So I pray that your wisdom would be given to us, that we would continue to live in a flourishing and prosperous community, that you would bless us, that you would bring us continual safety, continual blessing in all areas of this community. We honor you and thank you for this, again, privilege that we have to live here in Murrieta. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Thank you. Okay. Kicking off today, we've got a few presentations. So first up, I'd like to call Christine Bonet to have a presentation for the Summer Reading Challenge. Come on up. Hi. Good afternoon to bo …
