OUR VOICE COUNTS
We had a lovely Father’s Day event at St. Thomas Church on Saturday. Thank you to St. Thomas for co-hosting this event with us. Thank you to Marcia and Donald Liebich and Barbara Dwyer for their foolproof organizational skills and vision. We had about 30 adults and 20 kids come to enjoy the afternoon. Between the carne asada (thank you, Eduardo), the game of Lotería (thank you, Romero, MaryCruz, and Vera), the live music (thank you, Sabrina Roblin and Ted) and the games and arts and crafts, everyone had a great time.
A particularly HUGE thank you goes out to two local businesses in particular for the INCREDIBLE raffle we were able to host. Thank you to Carlos Hurtado and H Property Service for the $500 in La Cabañita gift cards. Thank you to Tod and Angi Hunter and Idaho Lumber for the $700 BBQ grill!! People were so grateful and excited about winning them.
Finally, thank you to our 26 volunteers! From St. Thomas Church, thank you to Doug and Dydy Cleven, Helen Morgus, Leslie Biranek, Betsy and John Ahston, Scooter Simmons, Sabrina Roblin, Ted, Jonah Kendall, and Kathleen Bean. From Sun Valley Community School, thank you Lauren Marziliano, Meredith Bromley, Hannah McEntee, Aila and Sarah Pettit, Luke Porter Stevenson and Susana Valdivia Barba, and Amarah and Heather Wesley. From Wood River High School, thank you Maria José Gonzalez, Vera Lucía Gonzales, Eduardo Escalera-Ramirez, Celeste Quispe and Britani Vargas-Aguilar.
