EOA Day at the Ballpark

Mt. SAC Softball is defending it’s California Community College Athletic Association

2018 State Championship. On April 4, 2019 a fabulous 15 year tradition continued

with the women’s softball team inviting the EOA to a day at the ballpark. Our Mount-

ies took on the Chaffey College Panthers winning with a score of 4-3. This was their

third win in a row. From meeting the umpires to the throwing out the opening pitch,

the Red Hat Society of Walnut lead the fun. Esther Villegas, Queen of the Walnut Red

Hat Angels threw out the opening pitch for the game. Thank you to Esther Villegas and

the members of the Walnut Red Hat Angels for their continued support and a hearty

thank you to Coach Ruby Rojas and her team for creating a special day at the ballpark

for the EOA/AWD Department.

victim of financial fraud and consumer scans. Students learned directly from representatives

California Department of Business Over-

sight, and the Riverside District Attorney's

Office . The event was held at Walnut Sen-

ior center April 2, 2019 from 8:30am to

12:30pm. It was a very interactive presen-

tation and students were encouraged to

ask the experts questions. Prior to the

start of the event flyers and handouts

were provided to educate participants on

protecting themselves against fraud.

The City of Walnut & Mt. SAC

16th Annual Intergenerational

Art Show

When I Was Young, was the theme for the 2019 Inter-

generational Art Show at the Walnut Senior Center. The

city of Walnut and Mt. San Antonio College collaborated

for the popular annual event. Artist of all ages were wel-

come to submit their work. The show ran from April 27

through May 3, 2019.

On Saturday, April 27 an artist reception and live auc-

tion were held from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The event was

catered by Brookdale Senior Living Solutions of Walnut.

Artist of all ages submitted their work to make this

years show beautiful. The art show was a group exhibi-

tion that highlighted different mediums including painting,

sketching, jewelry making and more.

Walnut’s Robert Watanabe did an outstanding job as

auctioneer as he truly mastered the art of bid calling

while he marketed the pieces. The room was full for the

live auction. At the end of the auction there was a long

line of buying patrons to purchase

artwork!

Many thanks to Robert Watanabe

and Gabriela Encinas of Walnut

Senior Center and Mt. SAC’s Kelly

Conte for bringing this celebration

of art to life with their tremen-

dous amount of work to make

sure it was a success. A special

thank you to Brookdale Senior

Living Solutions of Walnut for gra-

ciously catering the opening

reception with a beautiful buffet.
