Andrea Blanco is the secret Santa at Laguna Middle School who puts on a fabulous holiday party for local Latino families. BCA loves to help. When this year’s need grew to over 250 kids, we called in some elves from Duggan, Smith & Heath law firm, RRM Design, Jim & Elaine Gardiner, Marcy Villa and David Fosse, Sharon Young and Thoma Electric. The gang pulled it together, wrapped and delivered the goods. We extend a giant FYI thanks for the teamwork and generosity.
Christmas came early for a recent TV commercial produced in SLO by BCA for the Parable Group’s network of U.S. stores. Red Canary provided shooting and editing for the commercial that will hit the air nationwide in late November. Local talent, Eden Haga, won the casting call that sought a little girl to star in the story … BCA fan, businesswoman and can’t-help-bragging – Maggie Cox’s sister – Diane Henderson, returned recently from a surgical mission in Nagamangala in Southern India. Diane, a land use planner by profession and immediate past president of the rotary Club of San Rafael, was part of a Rotary contingent in India performing surgeries on children suffering from burns and cleft palates. Diane is pictured here with
one young patient whose face left side and ear were reconstructed. Diane shared some of her moving observations with us. Read this short narrative with photos.
