The Village Heritage Walk

To celebrate the 80th anniversary of the San Lorenzo Village Homes Association, we will be creating The Village Heritage Walk, on the path between the SLVHA Hall and the San Lorenzo Library.

The Village Heritage Walk isn’t just about laying bricks; it’s about weaving together the stories, experiences, and memories that make San Lorenzo Village a place like no other. It’s a testament to the enduring sense of community and belonging that defines this cherished neighborhood. As we celebrate 80 years of San Lorenzo Village, let us embrace this opportunity to leave our mark and shape the future of our beloved community. Together, let’s pave the way for generations to come, one brick at a time.
