Baja Animal Sanctuary s 10th Anniversary
One of the greatest rewards of being a volunteer is in working with like-minded folks who share a passion for a worthy cause. With teamwork, a small group of people can accomplish quite a lot. However, there are times when a specialist needs to be called in. In the case of our 10th Anniversary celebration, Carnivale, we needed many different specialists. A huge THANK YOU goes out to: Photographer Cecilia Greene 619-223-2106 Cecilia s fine work can be found on her website: www.photosbycec.com Cecilia is celebrating 25 years of Photographic Excellence Robbie and the Loyal Order of Moose: San Diego Lodge 508 1648 30th Street San Diego, CA 92102 619-234-1744 Photographer Cecilia Greene Rebecca s Coffee House in South Park 3015 Juniper Street You GOTTA try Rebecca s (east of 30th & Fern) home-made scones.
