According to a news release, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians has stepped in to make this holiday season a merry one for 150 Operation Phoenix youth. The Tribe has purchased 150 pieces of sports equipment to be distributed at the three Operation Phoenix Centers on Saturday, December 20th.
“The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians is happy once again to team up with Mayor Morris to make the Holidays just a little brighter for some of the children in the city of San Bernardino,” said James Ramos, San Manuel tribal chairman. “We wish all the children and families our sincere best for the Holiday Season and a joyous New Year!”
Mayor Patrick J. Morris and representatives from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians shopped for items Monday, December 15 at Big 5 Sporting Goods at 245 North E Street in San Bernardino.
Operation Phoenix is Mayor Morris’ multifaceted crime fighting plan for the City of San Bernardino, the image of which was tarnished by the arrest in July of center supervisor Michael Steven Miller on suspicion of child molestation of two young girls and another more than a decade before. The Press-Enterprise reported Miller subsequently was charged with two dozen crimes and faces life in prison if found guilty of all counts.
