This is a pretty big deal for the Sandia District, as Manny has been a huge part of the spirit and character of this district for many years.  At his request, we are having the party in La Huertas Canyon Picnic Area (one of his favorite places) on the afternoon of July 30th. Hope folks are able to make it!

Hello everyone,

 

We hope folks can join us to help send Manny off with style and fanfare after 29 years on the District!

 

Bring your favorite Manny stories and (in the spirit of Manny) handmade or forest found gifts.

 

Please send along any photos that you might have of his years here so we can put together a photo tribute.

 

We will have a card and envelope for donations for food/gifts at the front desk.
