Everyone is invited to this informative event on financial scams—how to spot them, avoid them, and protect yourself and your loved ones. Our speaker will be Alex Cardenas, an outreach specialist with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. This free event is open to the public. Senator Aisha Wahab’s office is helping us reach more people in the community, and will also provide information on state and local services. Join us to stay informed and empowered.

Museum of Local History Tour   
April 22, 1pm
Join us to learn about the history of the tri-cities, from the mission and rancho eras through pre-incorporation — back when Fremont, Newark and Union City were made up of farms, ranches and dairies, and later, after the cities incorporated, suburban communities. We will discover how the waves of families who moved here lived, worked, and established a thriving small-town community.
 
We will have the option to continue the fun and discuss what we learned by going to lunch in the area on our own afterwards. If you need a ride to the event, just give us a call at 510-458-7357—we’re happy to help!
