APC would like to extend an enormous thank you to Linda Choi and Natasha Acuña for organizing the incredible afternoon!  And it goes without saying - thank you to our fabulous families, Acalanes Community, Oakwood, and the City of Lafayette for making our seniors feel so loved! Our seniors thank you!  💙
