A Message From The Supervisor:

Thanksgiving is a day to acknowledge the appreciation we have for the life and well-being of ourselves, our family, friends, and neighbors. During this season of gratitude, I want to encourage each of us to remember the community of San Franciscans that we are. It is important to remind ourselves that we must treat each other with respect and understanding – no matter who we are, where we come from, who we love, or what we believe. To the residents of District 11, I wish you the warmest of Thanksgiving wishes!

Our office will be closed for the Thanksgiving weekend between 11/23-11/27. Otherwise we are typically accessible to the public through telephone, email, virtual meeting or in person via appointment. We are available by email: safaistaff@sfgov.org or by phone 415-554-6976 (leave a message and we will call you back). You can also check for updates on my Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Please note - if you miss my weekly newsletter, you may find it later on the Board of Supervisor’s website. Click HERE to read past newsletters.

Sincerely,

Supervisor Ahsha Safai

56th Annual Self-Help for the Elderly (SHE) Longevity gala

Great time at the 56th Annual Self-Help for the Elderly (SHE) Longevity gala - we are so happy to have a culturally competent, congregate meal site in the Excelsior.

Anni Chung and Self-Help for the Elderly do so much for the community and I was happy to present a certificate of honor to Nicholas, the Board Chair on behalf of this wonderful organization.

Chinatown Rose Pak Station

It was such an honor to be on the first train out of Chinatown Rose Pak Station! This has been nearly 30 years in the making - Rose Pak, the community and City leaders fought so hard to make this happen and connect our communities. This line will serve as a connection point for our District 11 community to have more seamless ride to Chinatown and Vice versa.
