Our Hearts go out the Ybarbo Family ...

The 2008 Fiesta Hispano Americana Parade and Street Festival was dedicated to Janie Ybarbo. Janie was one of the first five founders of the organization 27 years ago and served as Secretary for many years. Janie's husband Bruno, was President of the organization for more than 20 years. Today, Janie's daughter Yvonne carries on the family tradition as she serves as Secretary. Janie was a loving, compassionate person who in her Christian way served the community and the church. We thank the Lord for Janie being a special person in our lives. Janie lost her battle on July 31, 2008 after ten years of chronic illness. She will dearly be missed and always in our thoughts. 

Our volunteers work very hard and give of themselves and their free time to make our non-profit organization the best it can be. All of the volunteers are much appreciated! We are the oldest  civic group in the area.
