"La Amsitad" Senior citizen luncheon 2008

This years event was held on Saturday December 13, 2008. Wehad a rough start. A week before this event we were informed that another group was booked to use the center on the same day and time. So we pushed our luncheon back to a latter time on the same day. We were to begin arriving with food at 1:00pm and serve at 2:00pm. The other group didn't leave until almost 2:00pm. Once they left we quickly transformed the center for our use and I was amazed at how quickly we were able to do that and get going. Here dinner is ready and we are about to begin serving. We had good music provide by Dario Lopez. Brigitta Cantu, through her church provide gifts. After giving each senior a ticket we drew tickets for them to pick a gift. We had them hold on to their ticket and latter we drew tickets for them to pick a pointsetta plant which was donated by OHLSA. Also a big thank you to Margritta from Gleaners for donating 80 boxes of food which we gave a box to each senior who attended. I'm sorry we didn't get a group picture of all those who helped and supported this event. I won't even begin to try and name everyone because I know I'll miss someone. I just what to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who helped and made this event a success. Our cameraman behind the lense was Lorenzo Rivera.
Thank you for all the support and help, here's Lisa helping getting the food ready along with Marry Lopez in the background.

Patiently waiting for dinner to be served.
