Nancy Has Thanksgiving Dinner with Community United – 2. December, 2011

Nancy doing voices for the kidsCommunity United hosted its 4th annual Thanksgiving dinner at both the Starbird and Alma Youth Centers in San Jose.  Nancy made a special trip to San Jose and told the youth how proud she was of them for making good choices and staying in school.  She showed them a special episode of Simpson’s!!!   She answered questions and even performed a dozen “voices” having the kids guess the characters from many different shows!  Representatives joined the celebrations from both the Vice Mayor’s office and Councilman Pete Constant’s office!

Nancy signed bookmarks and photos, and took lots of pictures with the kids and their parents and grandparents!  Everyone had a great time and a wonderful turkey dinner thanks to a donation from Trader Joe’s, the community and special contribution from Nancy!    Several kids (and adults) said it was the best Thanksgiving ever!!  And when asked what she thought of the event, Nancy said, “There are lots of things I am thankful for but to see those smiling young faces gobbling down some gobble-gobble was a topper this year.”
