Dear Friends, As we come to the end of 2023, Irvine Senior Services looks forward to celebrating the holiday season with a wide variety of programs and events. Don’t miss the annual Irvine Global Village Festival Saturday, October 14, featuring an afternoon of enter- tainment, cultural displays, international cuisine, a global marketplace, and much more (see Page 7). Enjoy a morning of Halloween fun at the Trick-or-Treat event Friday, October 27 (see Page 4). Volunteers will pass out goodies and lead fun activities for children. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Heather Henderson at 949-724-6096 or volunteer@cityofirvine.org . Help honor the brave men and women who served our country through the Veterans Day Recognition program (see Page 15). If you know a veteran age 50 or older who is an Irvine resident, we would like to thank them for their service by placing an American flag in their yard or at their door in honor of Veterans Day. Flags will be delivered November 7–8. Trabuco Center will host the Twilight Holiday Social Friday, December 8 (see Page 4). Celebrate the holidays with family and friends while enjoying hors d'oeuvres, entertainment, and dancing at this annual event. For more information on the events and programs highlighted throughout this issue of the Irvine Senior Connection, visit one of our three senior centers, or go to irvineseniors.org . We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season! Sincerely yours, Sandra L. Salcedo Community Services Manager
