Our theme for August is “Getting to know you.” Each day we pose a question that will help your children and grandchildren get to know you—and vice versa.
This month’s calendar also includes a Trivia Quiz about popular culture in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Answers are on page 2 of the calendar. Don’t peek!
In late June, an agreement was reached on the 2020-21 State Budget by Governor Newsom, Senate President Atkins, and Assembly Speaker Rendon.
They agreed to keep CBAS (Community-Based Adult Services) and many other senior services funded. CBAS is the program operating at the Avenidas Rose Kleiner Center (ARKC).
Many of our participants, families, and advocates wrote letters of support and made calls throughout the months of May and June. Thank you all for your efforts!
If you’d like to thank the legislators who signed the May 28th letter in support of CBAS, CAADS has compiled a list of them with their Twitter handles and associated facilities.
ARKC continues to provide remote services and is taking new enrollees at this time. Please visit www.avenidas.org/care or contact Emily Farber at efarber@avenidas.org or Susan Lam at slam@avenidas.org for further information on current offerings.
