We are saddened to announce the passing of a beloved member of the community and of Village Connections. Alberta "Bert" Stevens passed away early Saturday morning at the age of 82. Her surviving son, Monte Stevens, expressed Bert's appreciation for all the cards and words of support she had been receiving. You can read his wonderful tribute here. The German Village Society has announced plans for a celebration of Bert's life in the Huntington Gardens on September 4th.

We want to set the bar high for the safety of our members & volunteers. The CDC now recommends everyone wear masks indoors in public areas where there are substantial or high community transmission rates, regardless of vaccination status. Please take a moment to review our updated safety guidelines.
