SEARCH Summer Celebration

 

 

Clients and volunteers joined together for a festive summer celebration on Saturday, July 30th. Ice cream sundaes, face painting, crafts, family portraits, and a free "garage sale" highlighted the afternoon.

  

  

SEARCH Summer Celebration 

  

 

Alex Brennan and his crew of family and staff from Brennan's provided wonderful smiles and generous helpings of jambalaya, summer vegetables and delectable pecan pie. Everyone enjoyed a delicious and healthy lunch. Alex Brennan and his daughters were drawn to this event as a service through National Charity League.
