Leaders who lead also know how to play,
With games and good laughs to brighten the day.
Ready, set, lead, then let the games start!
Bragging rights waiting for the bold and the smart.
Fueled by holiday spirit, we battled all day,
Built gingerbread masterpieces and competed away.
Teamwork, big smiles and a competitive beat
A celebration of leadership, and victory sweet!

We’re excited to share Patterson City Council voted to grant Patterson Promotoras $10,000, recognizing the work that is done every day in our neighborhoods. Promotoras play a critical role in promoting community-based health education and prevention. They are able to provide culturally sensitive service, establish trust in the community and receive feedback from communities. This support is a meaningful acknowledgment of the many hours of volunteer service dedicated to the health and wellness of our community. A big thank you to Councilmember Carlos Roque for helping make this happen.
