The temperature outside the Greenfield Veterans Memorial Hall was 100 degrees but that didn’t deter over 100 seniors to join us for the SOCOS Social! The Greenfield SOCOS Social was celebrating its 4th Anniversary and tables, as well as attendees, were decked out in party attire…green and gold balloons, a festive “red carpet” backdrop for photos and cute cupcakes with decorations. The Food Bank for Monterey County provided a refreshing lunch of chicken bowls, enjoyed by all. The Montalvo Band had seniors out of their seats, dancing to their music! Thank you to the staff at City of Greenfield CA for all their hard work making our seniors feel so special. The spotlight speaker for the day was Alzheimer's Association.
