Jul 21, 2025·By Amanda Ghyst

The VIP Seniors Club had the pleasure of welcoming Rancho Cucamonga Mayor Dennis Michael as our featured guest speaker. His visit was a continuation of his long-standing tradition of engaging directly with the senior community and sharing important updates on the City’s progress and vision.

This year’s visit was timely, coming after the Mayor delivered his annual State of the City Address, which is available for public viewing on the City of Rancho Cucamonga website. We encourage our community to view the video and hear firsthand about the exciting developments shaping our city’s future.

Ongoing Projects & Community Investments

During his presentation, Mayor Michael provided our members with a concise yet informative update on the City’s ongoing development projects. Reflecting on the past year's meaningful progress, especially in areas impacting the lives of seniors and families alike.

Key highlights included:

Infrastructure upgrades aimed at making roads safer and more accessible for all ages
Parks and Recreation improvements to ensure Rancho Cucamonga remains a hub for healthy and active living
Affordable housing initiatives in alignment with state guidelines, helping residents age in place
Continued focus on sustainability and maintaining Rancho Cucamonga’s reputation as a “Healthy RC” community

As always, Mayor Michael's warm and enthusiastic presence reminded us that senior voices matter and are being heard at the highest levels of city leadership.

A Gift that Grows – Mayor’s Thank You Token

At the end of his visit, Mayor Michael left each attendee with a charming little box – a gift that truly keeps on giving. Inside? A small packet of flower seeds symbolizing growth, beauty, and the vibrant future we all share in building together.

This meaningful gesture resonated with many of our members. Whether planted in a backyard, a windowsill pot, or a community garden, the flowers that bloom will be a reminder of our shared commitment to staying involved, informed, and connected.
