Holiday party – December, 2006

Theresa Van Horn, Professor of the USD Humanics department and her students volunteered to put the 2006 Holiday party together. The party included facials for residents, a gift from a Mary Kay rep. Staff, residents, big and little sisters all had a great time celebrating the holiday season.

 

Halloween Party – October, 2006

House residents and several volunteers made this year’s Halloween party better than ever!  The festivities included tarot card readings, a haunted room and lots of yummy treats.  Several best costume categories were judged and prizes awarded. 

A special thanks to Whitney Smith, her friend Jessica, Dililah Dupres and Yolandra Sinclair for their hard work in making this spooky event a success. 

 

Campout - September, 2006

The Mentor Program hosted our annual campout on September 30th and October 1, 2006 at the William Heise campground, outside Julian. Nicha Tabrizi, Vice President and Manager of the Wells Fargo Bank, Fletcher Parkway, and friend Jennifer Donnell, sponsored and led many fun activities. (Nicha is also a potential new Big Sister.) Campfire stories and s'mores capped the evening at this beautiful site; and the girls awoke to homemade pancakes and the smell of sizzling bacon. Our special thanks to Tom Rottler and UCSD Outback Outdoor Recreation program for lending the League tents, mats and sleeping bags from their program.
