BAGA to celebrate 10th Anniversary with Senator Gil Cedillo
Palo Alto, Ca.,_ BAGA is a bay area association of Latino gardeners and their families. On Saturday, May 17, they will be celebrating their 10th anniversary in Palo Alto California.
The reception, dinner and dance will honor members and their families who have stood by the group since it was formed.
They began their civic engagement when a move to drive them out of Menlo Park neighborhoods due to their use of blowers caused them to come together and organize their group. People like Senator Cedillo, then an assemblyman, stepped up to help them in their early years and they want to show their appreciation on this night.
Other local elected officials will attend including very popular Latina Redwood City Councilwoman Alicia Aguirre, who also teaches at Canada College. BAGA is an outstanding organization and is a leader in working to create educational and economic opportunities and well as civic engagement and voting in the Bay area. Their work is focused on the Mid-Peninsula and San Mateo County.
