December 27-29th 2011 are milestone dates for our department here at Hillsides. Our vision of taking the families we serve out to do activities as a group in hopes to establish connections between clients who wouldn’t normally meet in regular circumstances was manifested. Backed by Hillsides donors found by our Development office (Thank you to Nanci Garni and her staff) we were able to invite over 60 clients to 3 different activities on 3 consecutive days. Over the span of 3 days we were able to Bowl in Pasadena’s swanky “300” lanes, shoot the lights out at Laser Island in Upland, and participate in a photo scavenger hunt along the Gold Line light rail from Pasadena to Universal City (shout out goes to Team Gabby A, Mayra G. and Catalina G. for destroying the competition 118 points! She won a Target gift card for her efforts). At the conclusion of our outings, kids and adults alike had a great time, meeting new friends, connecting with old friends, and enjoying what our great city has to offer. Thank you to all who participated, supervised, and donated. A big thank you goes to Catalina Garcia and Jorge Alvarez who organized the events.
