It was a beautiful August summer evening as Crystal Baker and Karin Potter represented ACC at National Night Out in Elk Grove on Tuesday, August 2, 2022. The outreach event was held at Vintage Laguna Senior Apartments from 5 pm – 7 pm.
Apartment residents attended the event as ACC was introduced along with Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, and Ogden Insurance. Residents enjoyed ice cream as each vendor presented their available services. The event also entertained residents with raffles and prizes. At their table, Crystal and Karin had ACC brochures and souvenirs to hand out to interested residents. Many of the attendees had heard of ACC before but were unfamiliar with everything it offered. Residents asked many questions concerning ACC and were pleased to hear about the many services available to them, inquiring more about ACC Rides, Senior Escort Program, and all of the other programs.
