Over twenty-five guests attended and were treated to a wonderful performance by Susanna Sharpe and Samba Police. Also, Mark Yznaga prepared all the delicious food. Overall, the event was a success and we’d like to thank everyone that attended, donated and showed interest in our organization. Additionally, special thanks go to Mary and Mark Yznaga for hosting and preparing the event and Susanna Sharpe and Samba Police for their performance.
