[0:00] Well, greetings everybody. This is Jim [0:02] Huffland, your Adina mayor, and this is [0:04] the mayor's minute for Wednesday, [0:05] October 1st, 2025. Looks like another [0:08] 80°ree day in Edina. [0:10] You know, the Adina High School [0:11] thesbians, the actors over there, are [0:14] inviting all of us to wear pink. Yeah, [0:16] wear pink on Wednesdays this month to [0:19] take a stand against bullying. [0:22] They'll be performing Mean Girls [0:24] November 7th through November 9th, [0:26] written by the hilarious Tina Fay. The [0:28] show is set in the early 2000s, but its [0:31] theme, fitting in, peer pressure, [0:34] popularity, and rumors are still just as [0:36] real and relevant today, especially [0:38] online. Beneath the laughs, Mean Girls, [0:41] carries important messages about the [0:43] dangers of bullying, the importance of [0:45] kindness, and the value of being true to [0:47] yourself and your friends. October is [0:49] National Bullying Prevention Month. [0:52] While orange is the usual color for this [0:54] month, the thesians are asking us to [0:56] wear pink on Wednesday. Inspired by the [0:58] famous Mean Girls line, on Wednesdays we [1:01] wear pink. So join all of us at city [1:04] hall in wearing pink on Wednesday and in [1:07] practicing kindness. Smile, say hello, [1:10] offer a compliment, lend a hand, express [1:14] gratitude, help a neighbor, tip a little [1:16] more, post something positive, or [1:19] recognize someone by name. Even grabbing [1:21] a pink sprinkled donut at juries will [1:23] count. These small acts of kindness can [1:26] have a nice ripple effect. So, let's [1:28] make Edina shine with these acts of [1:30] kindness and courtesies to each other. [1:32] Let's keep making our town a little bit [1:34] better place every single day. This is [1:37] Jim Hublin and that's your mayor's [1:38] minute for Wednesday, October 1st, 2025. [1:41] I hope you have a great rest of the week [1:43] and stay kind.
