4th Annual Cesar Chavez Volunteer Day Event to Assist Westminster Gardens Retirement Community

A major theme in the life of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez was to urge people to join hands and work together for positive change. On Saturday, March 21, Duarte community members will mark Cesar Chavez’s birthday and honor his legacy by joining hands to work on two beautification projects at Westminster Gardens Retirement Community located at 1420 Santo Domingo Ave. The event will begin at 9:00 a.m. All are invited to participate.

The 4th annual Cesar Chavez Volunteer Day, sponsored by the City of Duarte and Duarte’s Promise: The Alliance for Youth will help Westminster Gardens clear out old landscaping to make way for new landscaping. Volunteers will also help relocate river rocks from one area to another.

Prior to the work portion of the event, participants will enjoy a continental breakfast and a program at Packard Hall including featured speakers and a performance of Ballet Folklorico Mestizo de Herlinda Figueroa comprised of local Duarte youth.

For more information and to join in the volunteer day event, contact: Duarte Deputy City Manager, Karen Herrera at (626) 357-7931, ext. 221.
