Join us for an unforgettable evening under the stars on Saturday, October 25th, 2025, starting at 6:00 PM at St. John's Village (135 Woodland Ave, Woodland).
BACKGROUND On May 1, 2022, St. Johns Retirement Village (SJRV) was officially closed due to the effects of the COVID pandemic as well as certain other management shortcomings that resulted in this decision. During the following months a new group of well known community members made several attempts to take over management of the Village, which at the time the then-existing board was in the process of selling the entire $13,000,000 St. Johns campus to the County of Yolo for $2,950,000. The bulk of the funds that were to be used for this purchase were federal dollars which had been given to the County of Yolo under the ARP (American Recovery Plan). On May 15, 2023 an email was sent to the three remaining members of the SJRV board, informing them that their new board member, Lynn Sison, elected on October 18, 2022 and subsequently appointed as the Treasurer of St. Johns, had her state license permanently revoked on October 23, 2019 by the California Department of Social Services (DSS) thereby prohibiting Ms. Sison from having any involvement in a licensed senior care facility in the State of California. These board members resigned on June 1, 2023, simultaneously turning over the control of SJRV to a new board consisting of Chuck Santoni, Bob Nakken, Peter Faye, Debbie Bruno, Tom Muller, Dan Parrish and Stan Levers.
