Finally, a huge shout out to our Community Issues Chair, Scott Melamed! He wanted to do something different than our normal monthly Community Issues Meeting -- he wanted the Whittier community to come together and simply have a good time. We are so grateful for all the time and energy he volunteered to make sure this event could be enjoyed by all. Thanks, Scott!

Thank you all, and we hope you had as much fun as we did!
