“I always say I’m going to lose weight on January first and that’s out the door by January second, so I don’t make resolutions anymore.”Ĭurrent president of the Elders group, Rosemary Morillo, said she’s looking for the virus to be completely gone and see everyone enjoy good health. Johnna Valdez, who was enjoying the music at the event, said she is looking for the new year to be a more healing year.

“My hope for 2022 is to get rid of COVID for good and be able to go out more.” “Since June or July we’ve been doing pretty good with bingo nights, a trip to Laughlin and other short trips,” Valdez said. Pam Valdez, who is the group’s current vice president, said they had barely started planning out events for the year when she was elected in January of 2021 before things had to be cancelled or postponed. “I’m thankful that we can go places again,” she said. Rachel Miranda said she’s looking forward to staying healthy in 2022 and attending more gatherings. She used to like taking the many trips the group planned but continues to enjoy the events that are closer to home. Marian Chacon said she doesn’t usually make New Year’s resolutions but is looking forward to things improving and getting together with the group again. About 60 elders participated in a recent outing to a Temecula winery for dinner and games. “This has been our most well attended event all year,” Erica Schenk, who serves as coordinator for the Elders group, said. There were prize raffles and a photo booth to keep everyone engaged throughout the event and each guest received a one-pound box of See’s candy. Luis “Lou” Pizarro of the television show “Operation Repo” offered comedic relief as the night’s emcee.Įlders and their guests were treated to a choice of chicken, roast beef or salmon accompanied by mashed potatoes, a variety of vegetables, a wide array of salads and a bottle of wine to toast the new year. about 100 guests were entertained by the rhythm and blues band Sly, Slick & Wicked, DJ Mike Nevarez and Aalon, a soul group formed by lead singer and guitarist Aalon Butler.
