Whether or not you've ever thrown a parent a birthday party your official notice begins now: if…read morethey make it, you've an obligation to throw them one for their 90th. On the plus side, neither the one being feted nor many of the guests will mandate a party that runs more than a couple of hours and you can bet those hours will be daylight. Enter the Danville Community Center, where a close friend hosted a party for her mother's 90th. This is not the sort of space where food or drink is provided. If you want that you'll arrange for it separately, just as my friend did. She also self-managed a slide show, music, and a couple of group dances. The whole affair was perfect and the spacious, high-ceilinged room (with free on-site parking) was nicer than possibly any community center I've ever been to. While I'd not suggest the Danville Community Center to those who don't live in the East Bay if you do, and you're seeking an event venue, it is quite worth checking it out. Perhaps it might even inspire you to host an event.

My husband and I got married here on 6/16/12. The venue is beautiful. Loved the gazebo. But one of…read morethe best things about this venue is Matt Ramirez and the staff. Matt was so patient and answered all my emails from the day we booked (a year before the wedding) til the final week. He is just delightful to work with and amazing. I couldn't say 1 bad thing about Matt if I tried. The Vista Grande room was just perfect. We had 89 guest and the room was a perfect size and the layout Matt helped us come up with was perfect! The staff that was on site the day of the wedding was just as good! A lot of our guest that lived or grew up in San Ramon said they never even knew the site was there and couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was. I definitely recommend this location as a wedding venue!

She has taken me to a dozen places, after doing her homework, and we found the perfect place for moms care. This took place over a 6 month period and Nancy was kind and understanding and knowledgeable and never pressured me to make a decision just so she could get her commission. She's the best!!

Thanks, Nancy!

Pest control finally came out and set traps and told them what they needed to do but they did none of it before I moved out. It was supposed to be a senior complex but it turned into some of everything. Tenants items started to come up missing. Now I don't who or whom did it but things were missing. I know people love pets but my goodness, then didn't do well at cleaning up behind their OWN pets. Pet hair left in the washers and dryers. They would wash their pet items in the washers and dryers. Heck, I got fleas or maybe bedbugs bites, I don't know which is which because I have never dealt with either one of them before. I do know that I through my comforter away.Some tenants expected maintenance to clean up THEIR dog urine and feces when they are looking at their dog doing this. The rodents got in my bed. I went through 4 air mattresses. I didn't buy an actual bed in fear of it being a total loss. I was over charged in rent. I was supposed to pay $1499 and I'm just going to be truthful, my rent was padded. The manager at the time charged $1929.00 in rent when id.gov told her to charge less. It was a lot more going on there by other managers but I'll tell that in court. I lived in a studio apartment and I was charged more than a one bedroom. I tried to write corporate but the packet came back. I have of that I speak of. Have you notice, the owner does put their name on the reviews? I have tried and tried to communicate with them but I can not reach them. Maybe the court system can or maybe they will respond through here. I want my overpayment back the cost for my 4 air mattresses.

Purpose of my visit: Celebration of Life of my high school PE teacher in the Fireside Room. It was a nice gathering of former students from Oakland Tech and Oakland High, friends and family of Marvelous Marva Nielsen aka Mrs. E. Although I did not take a tour of this gated community, and it is well-maintained, the area seems to be a peaceful one. Marva was the "longest serving golf marshall, serving about 14 years" in that capacity. She took care of the golfers and the golf courses. I know she will be missed by the people who live in this community.

Thank you to all at the Meals on Wheels organization. You don't know the wonderful ripple effect…read moreyou have on peoples lives. You sure helped our family out tremendously. I am a professional chef and was forced by circumstances beyond our control to care for my foster father at home. He was a disabled veteran and qualified for services thorough Meals on Wheels. I was completely absorbed by his necessity for 24 hour care. The first thing the program did for us was give me some much needed downtime in between doctors appointments and in home care visits. The food arrived on time and our driver was the most caring and gracious friend you could every hope for in life. I was absolutely impressed with the quality and standard of the food. It was clean, tasty and nutritious. I am a little surprised by the negative reviews. Meals on Wheels is preparing food for a variety of people who may have dietary restrictions so they shy away from salt and sugar. However, you can add your own spices, if you like. Another tip might be to gently warm the food instead of NUKING it on high in the microwave, which destroys the texture of just about anything. There are other settings... like 8, give it a try. We are forever grateful

One of my bffs recently gave birth to a perfect little angel who just happens to have an extra chromosome and we learned of the Down Syndrome Connection at the hospital. This amazing organization provided her and her family with tons of literature as well as classes where she can learn techniques to assist with the baby's development. I've been to the facility to watch her other child while they were in class and had the opportunity to hang out in their warm front room, playing with a cool train set and reading from their huge selection of children's books. Everyone that works here is SO nice and the feeling you get being there is that these people are not only knowledgeable about Down Syndrome but more than just empathetic, they've been through a similar journey. In addition to hanging out in the office, I was lucky enough to attend their huge annual event, which consists of a walk and then a bbq lunch/carnival. What an amazing day getting to celebrate tons of special children who are so inspiring and the enormous cheering teams they have made up of all the family/friends that love them. I can't say enough about this wonderful organization. Down Syndrome Connection is Woohoo! As good as it gets! Yelp 100 Challenge: 98/100

We started off in the children's groups which were great. We've been getting speech therapy here for years. I highly recommend Heather she is the best speech therapist. Heather is the only person that has been able to help me with my sons speech. I also received a lot of advocacy help from Martha Hogan who was the founder. She also referred me to a couple of attorneys. Which have helped me out through the years. From finding attorneys to help me with the school district, to getting an attorney for conservatorship for my son when he turned 18. I can't say enough how much this facility has helped me, being a single mom of a child with down syndrome. They're are so many options here for help. I just want to say one more thing, that every single person that works here is so nice.
