Thank you to The Central SD Black Chamber for the wonderful Community Award. I had a good time with Charista Toomer and Jennera, Carlette Lewis, and and our new friends from Union Bank. I loved the dancers from Bayview Baptist Church.

Kumeyaay Bird Singers perform at the opening ceremony for December Nights at Balboa Park. Area tribes also have a building next to Museum of Man, which was very busy tonight with people leaning more about Native American history and culture in the area, which is their indigenous homelands. Neat displays, hands-on activities, story-telling and more.
