COMMUNITY BARBECUE HELD AT ST. HELENA

State Senator Ruben Diaz Sr. (second from right), Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda, and 87th A.D. Female District Leader Julia Rodriguez, as well as over 200 people from the parish and the community, were joined by State Senator Jeff Klein (far left) for a good old fashion barbecue on August 26, in the parking lot of St. Helena's Church. There were hot dogs, hamburgers, fresh roasted corn on the cob, water and juice, and a cotton candy machine to provide refreshments while everyone enjoyed the other activities. There was a huge Bouncy House, face painting, games of musical chairs, and some good old neighborhood getting to talk to each other. The speeches were very short while several nice items were raffled off during the day, including back-to-school supplies for the kids.

BREAST CANCER MAMMOGRAPHY VAN AT ST. HELENA'S
