We have been involved in running many events at the local schools such as California History Day, Ice Cream Social, The Nutcracker play and the school’s Walk-a-thon fundraiser. To keep our local community together, in 2007 our family started holding an annual Backyard BBQ Talent Show for the local friends and residents.
