We recently celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a party! Donors and choral members came together to enjoy an evening of food, fun and friendship in a beautiful outdoor setting. Members brought their best food offerings to the table and everyone agrees it was fantastic. The beverages flowed as did the conversation. One lucky person even broke the pinata and won a gift card and concert tickets.
