Whereas, the Mastick Senior Center is committed to strengthening our community by connecting with and supporting older adults, their families and caregivers and acknowledging their many valuable contributions; and
Whereas, the Alameda Recreation and Parks Department recognizes the importance of bringing together all generations to engage in activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being; and
Whereas, the City of Alameda and our business community can enhance the lives of older residents in our community by promoting home and community based services that support independent living, involving older adults in community events and other activities, and providing opportunities for older adults to work, volunteer, learn, lead, and mentor.
