Many organizations celebrated Valentine's Day last week. Women's League lunch had a beautifully decorated room for the occasion with balloons and roses.
Commissioner Crystal Dominy was the guest speaker. She gave a very interesting talk on current events in our area and her work in Precinct 3. She also attended the Valentine's Day Dinner Dance at the SJC Senior Center on Saturday.
Commissioner Luke Sweeney was there along with many others who had a very enjoyable evening. The decorations were wonderful, supplied by the Center with some items from Dianne Samoff. Dianne, who was there with her husband Roger, organized the decorations. Some of the Hot Steppers performed for the crowd and all enjoyed the delicious meal.
