Community rallies to honor local hero with park naming

During a recent council meeting, Hanover Callaway passionately advocated for the naming of a local pocket park as \"Happy Friday Park,\" honoring community member Jorge, who has dedicated over 20 years to volunteer work in the area. Callaway reminisced about his past involvement with the San Pablo Old Town Committee and highlighted Jorge's significant contributions, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jorge, a grandfather, has been actively involved with the Downer community, volunteering alongside his grandchildren. His efforts include supporting the White Pony Express, an organization that provides rescued food to those in need. Callaway noted that Jorge has been instrumental in distributing food during the pandemic, ensuring that families had access to essential supplies.

The proposal to name the park after Jorge reflects the community's appreciation for his unwavering commitment and service, emphasizing the importance of local heroes in fostering community resilience and support.
