    A day for celebrating the abuelos of the community
    • September 5, 2024

    Grandparents do so much, and a special event on Thursday, Sept. 5, was all about celebrating them.

    The Día de Los Abuelos celebration hosted at the Delhi Center in Santa Ana offered a morning of pampering and entertainment for older adults in the local community.

    The early afternoon celebration was hosted by Mint Insurance Agency, the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Optum Medical Group, with a variety of volunteers jumping in to help.

    “This event is our way of showing gratitude and appreciation for the invaluable contributions of our seniors,” said Miriam Ramos Vega, founder of the Mint health insurance agency, who added she was inspired by her grandmother, Nena.

    The seniors enjoyed photo shoots, sweet treats and lunch, pampering that included makeovers, and a special performance by the Grammy Award-winning Mariachi DIVAS de Cindy Shea. There was also information on the various resources available to older adults in Orange County.

    Getting out the information about the help that is available is so important, said Wendy Reyes-Dorado, CEO of Elite Management Services and Sparkling Events Design, another organizer of the celebration. “There are a lot of services they do not know about. We need to get that information to them. There are a lot of organizations here to help them.”

    She also said it is important to make more time for the grandparents and older adults of our community with events like Thursday’s celebration.

    “We cannot forget about our values and our traditions,” she said, “and imparting love to our elders.”
