In addition to entertainment, the celebration will promote the health and well-being of seniors through exercise, nutrition, and advocacy. Seniors are advocating for senior issues such as re-authorization of the Federal Older Americans Act, local street improvements, and ongoing funding for culturally appropriate services and programs.
Invited guests include 14th District Councilmember Jose Huizar, 34th District Rep. Xavier Becerra, 53rd District Assemblymember John A. Perez, 22nd District Sen. Kevin De Leon, and former Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis.
