PRESENTATIONS
3 Recognize Mesquite resident, Don Douglas, for his generous donation to
students at Florence Elementary School.
Mayor Pickett stated that one of the City Council’s strategic goals is to Share Our
Story by telling extraordinary things occurring in the Mesquite community. Mr.
Don Douglas was made aware of Florence Elementary School students who did
not have funds to purchase a hot meal. Mr. Douglas has since donated $100 each
month to Florence Elementary School to ensure each student is provided a hot
meal every day which has prompted other residents to donate as well.
A brief video of a WFAA news story was played featuring Mr. Douglas giving back
to his local school. Mayor Pickett presented a proclamation to Mr. Douglas
proclaiming October 1, 2018, as “Don Douglas Day” in the City of Mesquite in
honor of his generosity to the Florence Elementary School students. Mr. Douglas
expressed his appreciation for the recognition and encouraged citizens to help
the students at their neighborhood schools.

Training Rooms A & B, to donate to this great cause. Hallie Bea Barnard, of Denton, Texas, is a 10 year
old looking for a bone marrow match. At 13 months old, Hallie was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow
disorder called Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA). The only cure for DBA is a bone marrow transplant.
Hallie’s bone marrow doesn’t produce red blood cells. She is currently taking steroids to survive but
once she becomes steroid resistant, she will need blood transfusions every three weeks. Less than 2
percent of Americans are on a bone marrow registry, and those who are, have a one percent chance of
being a match to anyone worldwide. Hallie’s Heroes was born in July 2015 and now has 7,000
registered in the National Bone Marrow Registry. Sixty-nine matches have been found and 10 lives have
been saved so far. If you are that one percent chance to be someone ’s hero, the following are ways to
donate: Peripheral Blood Stem Cell – six to eight hour non-surgical procedure or bone marrow – one to
two hour surgical procedure. Mr. Noschese encouraged everyone to participate in this very important
event.
(13) Mr. Aleman wished his wife a Happy 41st Anniversary.
