FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2023 37
In 1966, Dr. Maulana Karenga launched Kwanzaa to help
African Americans learn about our African history, culture, and
customs. It is a non-religious holiday that honors African-American
people and our heritage and is celebrated Dec. 26 through Jan. 1.
In our December meeting, we learned more about Kwanzaa,
celebrated our culture, played games, and enjoyed light refreshments.
Reminiscing this past year, we are reminded of our Mission
Statement: individuals getting together with like interests to develop
a broader sense of community spirit, well being, and a deeper sense
of fellowship. If this appeals to you, please join us as all are always
welcome.
Happy New Year! Be blessed, stay safe, try something new, and take
a little time to enjoy the beauty of our Four Seasons community.
The African American Cultural Club meets on the first Monday of
the month at 6 pm in The Lodge Game Room. All are invited to attend
for fellowship and learn about African American culture. Our next
meeting is Monday, Jan. 9, 2023. If you have any questions, please
contact the AACC President, Wanda Valentine, at (951) 544-1606. ~

We are looking forward to 2023 when we will offer free speaker events by master gardeners in order to support you in a successful home
garden. Mark your calendars for Jan. 21 and March 18 at 10 am in the RCN and check the Activities Blast for the topics as we get closer.
On May 20, we will host a home garden tour so that you can visit and experience all sizes and types of successful gardens by your neighbors.
We are establishing a sub-committee for anyone interested in establishing a Community Garden here in Four Seasons. Stay tuned for an
announcement of an orientation meeting in the new year.
