Community Updates
Thanksgiving in the Community
One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is being able to give back to the community. This year my family joined me delivering pies to our firefighters and police officers and serving meals to the seniors at Self Help for the Elderly Jackie Chan Center and later with the amazing staff and family at K-Elements, including Tony Lau, who is always finding ways to give back to San Francisco.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to give back to the community that gives us so much. I am thankful for our Richmond community and hope you all had a wonderful holiday surrounded by family, friends and lots of delicious food!
One Hard Thing
I had a wonderful time with the amazing volunteers at the Richmond's "One Hard Thing" event. Hosted quarterly by Golden Gate Village, a program through the Richmond Senior Center, volunteers come together to give their time to serving our senior community. From gardening, to decluttering and organizing, light handywork and painting, and changing lightbulbs it is an opportunity to directly help your neighbor. If you're interested in signing up for a future One Hard Thing, you can find more information on the Golden Gate Village website.
Celebrating 100 Years at the Legion of Honor
Last month, the Legion of Honor turned 100 years old. The Legion is not only a beautiful building, set in one of the most beautiful parts of our city but it offers a wealth of cultural and educational enrichment for our neighborhood and San Francisco as a whole. I was honored to attend the centennial celebration with other city and community leaders and to present a certificate of honor with Board President Aaron Peskin on behalf of the full Board of Supervisors. If you want to learn more about the Legion's history, you can visit the museum's exhibition celebrating the last 100 years.
