Senior Picnic-Rick Patereau, June 7^th 10 am for volunteers

Area 6 Project was Saturday from 8-4 in San Juan Bautista. The San Juan Bautista Club hosted a yummy tri-tip lunch cooked for us by the City Manager. We spruced up the Plaza Park on 3^rd Street building new walkways, gates, benches and white-washed the adobe wall surrounding the park.

Flower Sale at Syngenta Flowers report was given by Whitney Pintello.

Thank you to Joel Goldsmith who set up the flower sale originally and negotiated with Syngenta to continue the tradition. Marion and Rod Pintello for breakfast treats and snacks. Steve Peet for lunch from McDonalds.

We surpassed last year’s total gross, $46,000, and reached our goal of $50,000! Great Job Whitney!
