Thank you to ALL who came out to participate in Week One of September of Service! With nearly 20 volunteers from Las Lomas High School, Noor Islamic Community Center of Concord, and other committed community members, we were able to plant and water 15 trees and trim some overgrowth from along the park fenceline. I look forward to Saturday, September 19th, when we will mulch the planted trees and plant some additional trees at Bayview Circle Park from 8:30 am until 11 am. I hope to see you there!
Thank you to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and the @City of Clayton, California for hosting the "Annual Fallen Firefighter Memorial Service" on this somber day. May we #neverforget and continue to honor the memories of the brave men and women who lost their lives defending our nation on September 11, 2001.
Thank you to Kamal Gautam and his wife, Sarala, and Dilli Bhattarai for Hercules for organizing the recent Vigil for Nepal in Todos Santos Plaza. It was an impactful evening where we learned about the cause and impact of the August 2026 earthquake and mega-flood, caused by a melting glacier, that has left thousands dead and missing, including relatives of residents of Contra Costa County. It was heartbreaking to hear the stories of sudden loss and devastation.

I had a wonderful time helping to celebrate the second anniversary of the La Concordia Wellness Center Multicultural Wellness Center, a space created as a beacon of diversity, culture, and inclusion. La Concordia’s Multicultural Wellness Center honors diverse cultural traditions while providing accessible, stigma-free healing practices for overall wellness. Attendees had the opportunity to
participate in led activities from multicultural healers and enjoy performances from Aztec Dancers and Baile Folklorico Mexicano. Congratulations to CEO Dr. Manuel Fernandez and Board Chair Jorge Rojas Jr. on a wonderful event! More information: https://laconcordiawellness.org/
