EMPLOYEES OF THE MONTH
SEPTEMBER
JENNIFER GUMBOC,
UNIT COORDINATOR
Extremely competent
and professional, Jennifer
is also always helpful;
even if she is assigned to
a different floor, she will
come to our assistance
in a matter of minutes.
Her knowledge, efficiency,
and organizational skills
make our job easier. It is a
pleasure to work with her.
DARREL MATA, SECURITY OFFICER
Darrel was the security
officer on the scene during
the fire on August 13. He
assisted with containing
the fire, and made sure that
the first responders, San
Francisco Fire Department,
arson investigators, and
vendors knew where
they were going. He also
explained the nature of
the incident to optimize
response.
Resident bibliophile Claire Shor
BOOKS ARE THE BEST
And Claire Shor would agree – which is
why she completed the San Francisco
Public Library’s Summer Reading
Program, ratcheting up 40 hours worth
of reading by August 11. (Claire usually
reads at least four hours a day.)
To take part in the Summer Reading
Program, Claire made use of the local Excelsior
library branch, conveniently located within
walking distance of the Home. Her reading
list ranged from Harper Lee’s classic To Kill a
Mockingbird to the intimate memoir Tracy and
Hepburn by Garson Kanin. A bonus prize for
finishing the program was the choice of a book
or a pass to the de Young Museum. No prizes
for correctly guessing that bibliophile Claire
chose a book!
Recreational programs director Mediatrix
Valera hopes to incorporate some of the
activities available at the library in next year’s
Summer Arts Festival. Beyond browsing the
stacks of books, the library offers movies,
presentations, classes, lectures, and more.
