Here are some highlights from the recent District 7 Holiday Social. Many thanks to Dinuba Community Services for hosting this year's event!
Those in attendance were definitely in the festive mood!
- President-Elect, Liz Matinez took home the unofficial holiday spirit "award".
- Stephanie Hurtado, the Dinuba Community Services Director, shared valuable insights and updates from the department.
- Representatives from Dinuba's Police Department and Save the Children shared the value and importance of partnering with Dinuba Community Services and how it helps improve the community.
- With the generous donation of more than 30 gifts by attendees, both organizations will be able to spread the joy of the holiday season.
- An open dialog was had to discuss our challenges in hiring qualified staff. One of the key themes was finding applicants with a passion for serving!
- Congratulations to cornhole tournament winners Elijah of Dinuba and Taylor from Reedley! They will represent District 7 at the upcoming conference.
Here's to a bright and prosperous New Year!
