Congratulations to Florence Lin, who was named San Gabriel's Outstanding Older American 2022 at last night's council meeting.
The Outstanding Older American Award program is designed to seek out and honor persons 65+ years of age who are actively involved in service to others in their community. As the community relations manager at the Asian Youth Center, Florence's work has made a significant impact on the San Gabriel Community. She will also serve as the Grand Marshal for the City’s July 4th parade.
Our congratulations and thanks go to Ms. Lin for her service to the San Gabriel community!

Metro presents 626 Golden Streets: Mission to Mission returns on Sunday, May 1 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This is a free, family-friendly open-street event where participants can walk, run, skate, bike, ride and explore the 626! The event route will link the historic South Pasadena and San Gabriel Mission Districts via Mission Drive, Las Tunas Drive and downtown Alhambra.
626 Golden Streets in 6 Points
- Golden Streets is a free event! If you'd like to sample SGV treats and support local businesses along the route, bring cash or credit card for payment.

- Don’t forget to stop, enjoy, and take a picture! Share your best snapshots on social media with the hashtag #626GoldenStreets for a chance to win 626 swag and more!
