At the Aug. 13 City Council Meeting, Bertha Jimenez, proud Paramount resident for more than 20 years, received the Mayor’s Gold Key Award for the month of August. Bertha is a licensed esthetician and owns the Arte Jimenez Studio in Paramount. Many residents recognize Bertha as the face paint artist at city events. Last spring she turned City Councilmembers into cute bunny rabbits for the Dia de Los Ninos celebration. Along with working closely with the Paramount Community Services Department, Jimenez serves as a member of several Paramount groups including the Paramount-Tepic Sister Cities Committee, the Paramount Historical Society, and she is an Ambassador for the Paramount Chamber of Commerce.
