Before we start celebrating, we'd like to take the time to acknowledge and thank those that help make this event truly stellar.
As part of the Affordable Space Program at SOMArts, which is supported by the San Francisco Arts Commission, our event will be held at SOMArts at 934 Brannan Street. To learn more about this space and the great work this organization does, you can find out more about SOMArts here!
Keeping us on the dance floor is a band called Los Chiles Verdes, comprised of 16 young musicians, ranging from 8 to 14 years old. Los Chiles Verdes is led by our good friends Jose Leon and Tony Price, with assist by our former Employment Training instructor, Gil DeAnda.
And of course, feeding us very well is Above & Beyond Catering
Lastly and notably, for our 38th year, we are taking the time to honor a very special board member, Ed Oshika for his 30 years of service on AND's Board. Please join us to celebrate both milestones of commitment to community! We can hardly wait.
