We will celebrate our 50th Anniversary with a quartet of festive events through the year, beginning with a kick off birthday party on Saturday March 2 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. at the Adult Center, 550 N Ventura Avenue, and continuing at the nearby Avenue Library at 606 N. Ventura Avenue.
We invite parents to bring their children to hear best-selling bi-lingual author Amada Perez read from her latest book, “Nana’s Big Surprise.” Noted creative artist Judee Hauer will be on hand to help children create folk art dolls from clothes pins. Inlakech Cultural Arts will add Mariachi music to the festivities. Refreshments will be served.
The second part of the celebration, taking place in Avenue Library itself, includes the awarding of raffle prizes and 50 complimentary signed copies of Amada Perez’ book.
Dates have been floated for the other trio of birthday parties: E.P Foster in the summer, Saticoy in September and a grand finale drumroll at Hill Road in October with the popular Harmonix Singers and their artistic director Miriam Arichea.
