There will be a panel discussion at 1 p.m., Sept. 17 at the Vanguard Art Gallery, located at 27120 Eucalyptus Avenue, Suite G, Moreno Valley, CA 92555. The discussion will be moderated by LA Live Talk Radio host, Sheena Metal and several of the performers will be participating.

That evening, a Meet and Greet Fundraiser at the Vanguard Art Gallery will be held complete with red carpet where people attending will get the full treatment of interviews, photos and can meet the performers along with dance to a DJ.

A city is often judged by what residents experience every day: the condition of its streets, the reliability of public services, the availability of recreational programs and the ease of obtaining information from local government. Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
