Rain or shine, Senior Safari is always a fun time! 🌦️ Thank you to all the older adults who braved the wet weather with us last week to kick off the 12th season.

It was all smiles throughout the morning, especially when the Office of Assemblymember Gail Pellerin presented a State Resolution to Happy Hollow honoring our 65th anniversary! 🌟Thank you Assemblymember Pellerin for recognizing the decades of impact Happy Hollow has on our community.

A special shoutout to our esteemed speakers who helped commemorate the kick-off: Lissa Kreisler, Vice Mayor Pam Foley, Councilmember David Cohen, Councilmember Bien Doan, County of Santa Clara’s Vanessa Merlano, City of San Jose’s Jon Cicirelli, Office of Assemblymember Pellerin’s Mary Anne Groen and foundation Board Chair Camie VanKeuren.
