Easter Baskets

 Por Cecilia Vignier

The members of the Spanish American Club, Inc. were very busy with preparations for the Easter Sunday celebration. One of their projects was to make a donation of 30 gift baskets for the young students in Mrs. Amelia Lanchez’s class. The preschool children attend the “East Coast Migrant Head Start Project” in Fort Pierce.

All the children are from immigrant parents and attend this educational center while their parents are working. They are provided with meals, teaching, and care with great diligence. The lady members of the Club gathered to prepare the baskets, which were beautifully decorated as if from a store, made with much love. These gifts were taken to the school and presented to the director, Mrs. Saundra Oliver, and Mrs. Amelia Lanchez to distribute to the young students.
