Volunteer BBQ
We held a volunteer BBQ on August 5th. As usual, the food was so delicious and filling and the company, as always, interesting & fun. It was a great time for everyone to meet and get to know each other and their spouses and friends. A huge thank you to Diane Babcock for helping organize and plan the party and then to do all of the grilling—all with a big smile!

Shower the People hosted the VituityCares Foundatoin pop-up medical clinic at the SLO Library on May 21st. Come back the third Sunday of every month for free medical consultation, diagnosis, and treatment.
