Pilgrim Place residents are sponsoring a virtual town hall conversation with local U.S. Congresswoman Judy Chu, Wednesday February 3, 10:45 a.m. until noon. Resident spokesman Gene Boutilier stated the general public can attend through Zoom and residents of other nearby retirement facilities are especially invited. 

The session will emphasize health, safety and benefit issues for older adults and issues impacting senior residential communities, but all the policy priorities and politics of the moment can be part of the conversation.
