Congratulations...

...to the wonderful volunteers of Santa Ana who lead that region's conversation groups, coordinated by the Municipality. Thank you to the Santa Ana Municipal Council for inviting us to make a brief presentation on Community Conversations at their session on February 28th, and to Andrés Acuña, who coordinates the program on behalf of the Municipality, for all the work he does to make the program tick. He bestowed a special award to the volunteers present that night: pictured with some of their smiling Conversation Partners are Marilyn Brandon (seated, front right), Carolina Salas (standing immediately behind her), Patricia Olkowski (standing, far left) and Jay Morrison (at the back). Thank you for all you do!
