Mexican Fiesta Meet 'N' Greet Event

On Saturday, August 23rd, from 4:00 in the afternoon to about 7:00 that evening, the president of our Board of Directors, Abe Baily and his wife Daisy, hosted a lovely board year kick-off event! Braving nearly 100 degree heat, 29 people enjoyed this event.

Invited were all of WTC Board of Directors and their spouses, members of the North Valley Rehabilitation Foundation and their spouses, key community members, and all of WTC's senior management team and their spouses. We were pleased to welcome Andy Holcombe, Chico's mayor, and his lovely wife to our event!

Despite the late-summer date and the heat, approximately 29 people came to Abe and Daisy's home for a delicious Mexcican fiesta meal, featuring chips and salsa, build-your-own fajitas, and delicious pineapple cake and cocoanut brownies for dessert. The food was catered by A Friend of the Family Catering, and they did an outstanding job with the food. Not only is the food delicious, but the presentation is outstanding. Refreshing drinks were served as well -- there was lemonade, iced tea, water, soft drinks, beer and wine. No one left hungry or thirsty!
