Family and friends gathered for a birthday celebration for Eola Bates on Saturday, April 20th.  This birthday was very special as Mrs. Bates turned 103 years old and was honored with an Elk Grove Key to the City, presented by Councilmember Darren Suen.  A fun fact about Mrs. Bates is that she likes to share that the last time she drove her car was November 11,2023 – she drove to the bank, but it was closed.  She now lives with her grandchildren in Elk Grove, still loves to paint and reads novels monthly.
