A 'village' born of acceptance, engagement and an eye on the future

By Barry Bergman

To Steve Lustig, a recently retired UC Berkeley administrator and Free Speech Movement veteran, Ashby Village is a logical next step in a life steeped in community activism and health- and eldercare leadership. A vigorous 66, he’s devoted to finding ways to extend members’ reach to needed services and resources, from negotiating price discounts to bringing new agencies into the village’s network. The main benefit of belonging, thus far, has been the time and energy he invests.
