Thursday was a very special day at Sandiago's Mexican Grill. We served close to 250 foster and adoptive families from the Albuquerque area. The restaurant was full of children's laughter from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm. A lot of really big thank yous go out: Sarah Palmer from CYFD who did a marvelous job of getting out the invitations and taking reservations, High Finance & Sandiago's 30 volunteers and their families who came in on their day off, US Foods for donating much of the food and Sandia Peak Tramway for giving the kids and their families a special rate on the tram.
Two TV stations ran stories about the dinners. The links to those stories are pasted here:
