On Sat., Oct. 24th, Families, Fathers & Children had our annual Halloween Party, for clients and for children from St. Augustine's.
Many thanks to all the volunteers who worked
so hard to make our Halloween Party a success. If you hadn't come and spent hours doing everything
from setting up chairs to cooking food to helping kids do arts
and crafts, we couldn't have done it. And special thanks to our
faithful volunteer, James Palmaro, who led the children in interactive music, which as usual was the high point of the party.
Thanks to: Andrea Maldonado, Cindy Cruz, Serena Henderson,
Autumn Haywood, Debra Bailey, Mary Williams, Bob Biegen,
