We celebrated Halloween with Adult Council 21B Los Banos, Region #15 and YC #18 on Sunday October 31st at the St. Joseph Parish Hall in Los Banos. I was joined by my Dad Carlos, LALIS Director and Assistant to the President Brienne Peixoto this afternoon. The morning to be honest started off rough as I had injured my knee in the Halloween festivities the night before at the Portuguese hall dance and was having a really rough time just being mobile. But I managed to get ready and head out to this visit with a smile and ready for more memories.
We arrived at the St. Josephs Parish just as mass was letting out. As we got there we were greeted by Arnold and MaryJo Rodrigues who had just arrived as well and walked into the hall to see some very familiar faces. The decorations were absolutely adorable. Mrs. Machado did a wonderful job with the festive center pieces made out of Cotton branches and candy!!! It was a free for all with some of the best Halloween candy. Just as expected everyone was very warm and welcoming.
It’s always good to see our Presidents and their families. We continue to create more and more memories as we all travel through the state visiting all these councils. I see you all and it brings a smile to my face and the laughter begins almost immediately. I’m having such an amazing time traveling with you guys.
My hats off to the Council of Los Banos council for a delicious lunch and Mr. Machado’s beans were as expected delicious. We had kept hearing how we all had to try them and they were correct, they were delicious! Congrats to YC#18 of Gustine for their 3rd place Trophy at the convention this year. You guys did an amazing job and thank you for performing for us again at the visit. It’s always wonderful to see so many youth participate in the Visit and throughout the year.
Thank you again to Los Banos for their fabulous luncheon, good times and wonderful memories. I look forward to seeing you over the next few years as I continue to my journey.
See you all at the Wine Tasting for Newark Council 19B and the San Jose Visit!
Yes, the beans were great and I do believe Joe did take the gas out of them! Of course needless to say, chocolate being my favorite the centerpieces tops with me too!
