There were visits from Mayor Betsy Nash, San Mateo County Supervisor District 4 Lisa Gauthier, and then Mayor/now current Council member Drew Combs.

Chef Tony Ng and team provided pancakes, eggs, sausage, juice and more at Santa’s Breakfast Table while Library and Community Services Supervisor Rose Waldman and Librarian Desiree Wong read stories and sang Christmas songs for four hours at the North Pole in the Kids Library.
