Everyone is invited to this informative event on financial scams—how to spot them, avoid them, and protect yourself and your loved ones. Our speaker will be Alex Cardenas, an outreach specialist with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. This free event is open to the public. Senator Aisha Wahab’s office is helping us reach more people in the community, and will also provide information on state and local services. Join us to stay informed and empowered.

More than 40 Villagers rang in the new year with a festive dinner at Skillet’z. With a lively icebreaker, great food, and plenty of seating to socialize, the event created a welcoming space for Villagers to connect and enjoy each other’s company. A big thank you to Skillet’z for the excellent dinner!

Join us for a guided tour of Washington Township Museum of Local History (located near the Mission) and then make plans to join up for lunch somewhere nearby.
