The Indianapolis City-County Council on Nov. 3 adopted special resolutions honoring three local organizations and community traditions.

A special resolution (Proposal 353), sponsored by Councilor Roberts, recognized the Indianapolis Children's Choir on its 40th anniversary. Amber Denny, president of the choir's board, described the group's history, regional choirs and outreach; she noted the choir serves thousands of young people and performs locally, nationally and internationally. The council adopted the resolution by voice vote; the clerk recorded the motion as carrying.

The council also adopted a special resolution (Proposal 354) recognizing the fiftieth annual Southside Reunion Picnic at Babe Denny Park. Councilor Jones and Councilor Osely sponsored the measure. Beverly Khan, speaking for the Southside Reunion Committee, and long-time community members recounted the event's origin as William Lester Craig Day and thanked the Department of Parks and Recreation for upcoming park renovations. The resolution notes the picnic's role preserving community bonds after the construction of Interstate 70 and celebrates the event held Aug. 2, 2025.

Finally, the council adopted Special Resolution 19-2025 (Proposal 369) honoring the 10th anniversary of the Exchange at the Indianapolis Urban League and recognizing its awards at the 2025 National Urban League Conference. Kelly Doucette, identified in the meeting as the Exchange's president, accepted the recognition and spoke about leadership development and civic engagement among young Black professionals.

All three resolutions were presented and approved on the council floor; the transcript records the presentations, remarks from community representatives and affirmative voice votes. The floor record does not attach funding to these resolutions; each invites the mayor to affix his signature in accordance with IC 36-3-4-14.
