Bruce & Jeri Oneto and Talitha (Tai) Stills
Jeri Green Oneto & Bruce Oneto, underscore the interests and concerns that epitomize the San Lorenzo Valley community. Jeri and Bruce represent its neighbors-helping-neighbors ideal, the meaning of its history, the importance of involvement and support of its local non-profit organizations. Tai epitomizes the vital importance of educating community residents and businesses to promote environmental protection as well as its love of music and honor for musicians; she too has dedicated her life to nonprofit organizations.
The Valley Women’s Club (www.vwcweb.org) created the Award in 1987 to honor both Mary Hammer and Annette Marcum who represented the ideal of long-term volunteer commitment. They had already given thousands of hours to improve the quality of life of local residents, and continue to do so 26 years later. Jeri and Bruce, and Tai, join the forty-three others so honored in their names.
The entire community is invited to the Award celebration in their honor on Sunday, October 27, 1:30-3:30, at the Highlands Park Senior Center. The event features delicious desserts provided by Jeri and Bruce Oneto (yes, the Honorees!), wonderful music by talented jazz pianist, Ben Anjo, with presentations and a champagne toast honoring the recipients.
Our government representatives will join in the Celebration in their honor. State Assembly Member, Mark Stone, and our 5th District Supervisor, Bruce McPherson, will be there in person to present tributes to the honorees. Congress Member, Anna Eshoo, is sending her representative to give special recognition, as is State Senator, Bill Monning.
