MNC CEO Richard Ybarra and Consul General Ana Luisa Vallejo Barba enjoyed a farewell lunch at Wayfare Tavern in a far reaching and intriguing discussion, that included our on-going close working relationship with the Mexican Consulate, highlights of her one-year tenure in San Francisco, economics and other salient topics of our times. It is interesting to note that San Francisco was her first USA appointment in a 30-year career. Consul General Vallejo expressed deep thanks and appreciation to the SF Community, especially the nonprofit sector, that was so welcoming and accommodating to her and her consulate team. In a short time period Ana Luisa Vallejo made a great impression and made many friendships in the City. The life of international diplomats takes many turns and we in San Francisco, were fortunate to have her company and leadership on the many issues in which she and the consulate participated and in the exciting and fun cultural events we sponsored together, like El Grito 2024 and Gourmex 2025. MNC first welcomed the Consul General to San Francisco in our Liliana Rossi Theater on August 22nd 2024 and we are glad we got to build a great relationship with her and her team. Thank you, Ana Luisa Vallejo, for all that you do and we hope to see you again soon! We wish her well and God's blessings in her new assignment and adventures. We look forward to welcoming the next consul general!

12 participants from MNC HADS (Healthy Aging and Disability Services) graduated from the Senior Vitality program, provided by the Curry Senior Center, designed to support older adults in building their digital literacy. Participants who complete the two-year program receive a tablet and take technology literacy classes in Spanish. This cohort was especially meaningful, as it was the first group to complete the program in Spanish. Participants met once a week and received tech support in Spanish. They learned to use their tablets for everyday tasks such as making appointments with their doctors, using Zoom and social media, searching the internet, and navigating basic apps and tools. Recent graduates will now stay engaged by once a month Zoom meetings and once a month in person over the next year. Congratulations to our graduates Adelaida Moreno, Bernadita Camacho, Elena Raygoza, Gabriela Quehl, Gabriela Ramirez, Jorge Ramos, Lilia Cardenas, Luisa Justo Dongo, Matilde Flores, Rosa Amelia Romero, Rosa Rubio, and Rosario Perez. We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and excited to welcome the next group of participants!

Seven Corps Members and a dozen MNC staff took part in last year’s MNC Climate Corps Pilot Reunion. We honored and celebrated them and their supervisor Martin Portillo with music, food, pizza and lots of great feedback and comments on the impact of the Climate Corps program. The seven veteran MNC Climate Corps members were gathered to help MNC gauge the need and interest of San Francisco youth in a permanent MNC Climate Corps. CEO Richard Ybarra commented that “MNC’s Climate Corps pilot was the finest he has witnessed. Their work projects were in places like Alcatraz Island, Slide Ranch, Pacifica State Beach, the Palace of Fine Arts, and Corona Heights doing beach cleanups, planting, trail clearance and even bee keeping. Corps members enjoyed reuniting with each other and sharing their feedback and experiences with us. Thank you to the Climate Corps Stewards and MNC staff for attending this reunion and taking part in meaningful work to better our environment and provide our youth with workforce opportunities.
