Thanks for the pizza, Jerry!

Last week, a grateful client hand delivered a couple of delicious pizza pies to thank Jenny Melgar, Care Coordinator, for the wonderful difference her support has made in his life. Jenny is the most tenured staff on our Care Management team—which offers services to support older adults to “age in place," helping them access resources to support their daily routine of activities when they are no longer able to manage entirely on their own—and is a real life superhero!

A note on AI: We used an AI image editing tool to tidy up the inside of the pizza box.

On Thursday, October 22, experience the enchanting essence of autumn and breathe in the crisp, clean mountain air with The Club on a scenic escape to Oak Glen, famously known as the place “where apples grow a mile high.”

Nestled in the majestic foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains (5,000’ elevation), this picturesque mountain town provides the perfect fall retreat. Our first stop is Wilshire’s Apple Shed, a beloved mountain destination established in 1945. Brimming with the nostalgic charm of yesteryear, this rustic haven features a delightful boutique packed with unique global gifts, seasonal décor, and specialty gourmet foods.

We then continue down the orchard-lined roads to Riley’s at Los Rios Rancho. As Southern California’s largest and most historic apple farm—proudly in operation since 1906—it provides a spectacular backdrop for an included, boxed lunch* right in the heart of "apple country." Afterward, enjoy time at leisure to explore their bustling country store, where shelves are heavily laden with scratch-made jams, rich pumpkin butter, local honey, farm-made w**e, fresh-pressed apple c***r, and mouthwatering baked apple pies.

In the afternoon we’ll visit a cozy, family-owned orchard tucked into a beautiful alpine setting shaded by a sprawling, ancient chestnut tree. Stroll through their charming shop offering a bountiful selection of fresh-picked apples, fresh apple c***r, artisan balsamic vinegars, infused oils, local honey, and unique mountain keepsakes. You can even indulge in an optional tasting of their farm-crafted w**es and hard c***rs (additional fee), or treat yourself to a bag of their famous, piping-hot apple c***r donuts perfectly paired with a steaming cup of c***r!

We will depart at 9am and return at approximately 6pm.

*Boxed Lunch Options: Turkey Avocado, Artisan Ham & Swiss, Roast Beef & Cheddar, California Veggie, Chicken Apple Walnut Salad GF, Vegan Mediterranean Bowl
