Christmas Toys 2007
Members of (SACI) at Johnny’s Restaurant Christmas toys recollection for low income families a success.
By Herman Santa
This year’s toys collection of the SACI was a huge success. We could not achieve it without the tremendous generosity from our members and hard work from our Christmas Toys Committee and our Board. Special thanks to Agueda Mejía who came up with the idea to create a list of the children with their names, gender and ages. Finally, we must thank this wonderful membership of our club. So many of you came out to bring the gifts, had dinner and enjoyed the music at Johnny’s’ Restaurant on Saturday, December 15, 2007. We had great time. Again, thanks for your generosity.
