From Merry G, regarding the Western Farm Workers Association:
We had a beautiful day for our annual Easter party on April 19th. There was a delicious posole lunch, Easter baskets for all, egg dyeing, crafts, fresh flower bouquets made by the children, games, prizes, an egg hunt, and pinatas. Thank you to the Westside families who donated for a pinata and plastic eggs. Also a big thank you for a substantial donation of food to fill our Emergency Food Pantry. We are getting requests for food every day at our office. Thank you.
