Council honors two car clubs; proceeds earmarked for youth holiday programming
The Gonzales City Council on May 19 adopted resolutions recognizing the Gonzales Customs Car Club and the Street Life Car Club for their collaboration on the city’s third annual Show and Shine car show held April 5, 2025.

Council presented two separate resolutions — one honoring Gonzales Customs and one honoring Street Life — that thanked the organizations for organizing, promoting and judging the event and for supporting community raffles and youth activities. Staff said the car show generated "just under $5,000," and that the clubs requested the funds be used specifically to support youth programming, including holiday‑lights activities and events for children.

Juan De La Rosa, representing Gonzales Customs, thanked the council and said, "We do it for the kids." Street Life members also thanked the council and said they planned to continue supporting youth and community efforts.

Both resolutions were read at the meeting and approved by voice vote.

Why it matters: the funds raised will be applied to youth programming and seasonal community events, and the resolutions publicly acknowledge community groups that support city programming.

Next steps: staff said the funds will be applied to holiday‑lights youth programming and organizers will continue to coordinate with city staff on event details.
