On December 7, 2017 we hosted our annual Christmas party for local children who are members of the San Dieguito Boys and Girls Club Harper Branch.  The children could choose from several different craft stations to make Christmas decorations and presents. They could also visit with Santa and enjoy the food and refreshments.  The weather at La Colonia park in Solana Beach was breezy, but all the kids had fun and left with several momentoes from the party.
