Residents and volunteers at a San Carlos Adult Community Center event praised the center’s programs, volunteer leadership and community role.
"So welcome to this award winning San Carlos ACC with so much to offer for you and me," said a resident, closing the remarks by noting, "And may I add, most of it is free." The comments framed the center as an affordable hub for older adults and community activities.
Several attendees identified themselves by name and described long-term involvement. Susan said she has been coming to the center for about 20 years; Jan Smith said about 14 years; Laurie Randish said she has participated for about five years; and Roberta Gonzales Gregg said she has served for more than 10 years as a volunteer tai chi and qigong instructor. Those remarks underscored continuity in both participation and volunteer-run programming.
Board member Pete Nannerone introduced himself and later said he is proud to be affiliated with the organization as a board member. Attendees praised the ACC’s physical and strength classes and its monthly lunches, which community volunteers help serve.
One attendee recounted bringing a friend with Parkinson’s to the center during the COVID period to ensure access to food and services, illustrating the center’s role in local support networks during crises. Multiple speakers also described the center as welcoming and well-maintained, saying visitors are greeted warmly and rooms are kept clean.
The gathering offered no formal motions or votes. Organizers and long-term participants highlighted the center’s programs and volunteer base as key strengths and noted the affordability of many services. No decisions or requests for formal city action were recorded during the remarks.
