Wonder of Wonders. A real treasure exhibited itself Saturday, June 20 at the Peninsula Community Senior Center’s “Summer Celebration.”
Hard to ignore the chaos, fear and tragedies that surround us now.
But, fabulous to watch senior citizens and their friends, family and neighbors converge on a triumph of grace, humor, and support for not just those present, but all of Point Loma and environs.
Lisa Nokes, the Executive Director, and her staff, volunteers, neighbors, and friends, delivered a celebration of what “Neighboring” is— that great coming together to protect and aid those in need of their services.
First coined in Minnesota to peacefully protest while shielding those around them from serious harm, “Neighboring” has become synonymous with both compassion and courage.
Organized volunteers created the space, talents, patience, imagination and sacrifice to organize last Saturday’s “Celebration of Summer.”
A curtain call, so to speak, of their year-long community gifts of driving seniors to medical appointments, delivering food for those in need, plus education, lectures and entertainment.
Simply put, being a great credit to the whole of San Diego. And a gold mine of characters. Keep the celebration alive. Join the “Neighboring” promise.
