Dear Community Members and Stakeholders,
We urgently need your participation!
As we continue working toward the development of the Gus García Senior Wing, it is essential that we gather input from as many community members as possible. This project can only move forward with strong community involvement, and your feedback plays a critical role in shaping the services, programs, and resources that will benefit our seniors for years to come.
We are asking all residents, families, and stakeholders to complete the survey either online or in person. The survey is designed to help us understand what the community wants, what gaps currently exist, and how we can build a stronger, more inclusive space for our seniors.
Why Your Participation Is Important
• It ensures the Senior Wing reflects the real needs of our community.
• It strengthens our proposal and shows strong community commitment.
• It helps secure support, funding, and approval for the project.
• It allows every voice especially those often overlooked to be heard.
How You Can Help
• Complete the survey (online or at designated in-person locations).
• Encourage neighbors, friends, and family to participate.
• Share the survey link on your personal social media pages and community groups.
• Help spread the word to seniors who may need assistance completing it.
