Fostering Connections

Judy Hatz considers herself an introvert, but you’d never know it if you ran into her at a Lamorinda Village event. A frequent attendee at many Village activities including Strength & Balance and Senior SWELL at the Lafayette Library, Judy credits Lamorinda Village with changing her life. “My calendar is full, I’ve made so many new friends, and I get to do volunteer work,” she says. At Don’s Golden Happy Hour or Village luncheons, you’ll often find Judy surrounded by friends from her senior housing development in downtown Lafayette, cracking jokes or sharing a story about her beloved, quirky cat. 

Though initially hesitant to participate in Village life, Judy gradually took the brave step of attending her first activities. Today, she is a regular at classes such as Chair Yoga and Strength and Balance and an integral part of many social gatherings. On Tuesdays, you’ll often find her at Senior SWELL at the Lafayette Library, sipping a drink and chatting with fellow members. Judy now welcomes newcomers, as a Village Ambassador,  helping them become familiar with Village offerings and easing their transition into the community. At 82, Judy says she’s happier than ever, thanks in large part to Lamorinda Village and the many wonderful people she has met along the way.
