The Salesian Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco held their annual fund raiser @ Hotel St. Francis at Union square in SF. It was a great evening for all the 750 in attendance. When 700+ Italians gather it's going to be something to watch and listen to. Nobody was disappointed.
After introductions, state of the club notes and plans, long time member Joe Martino, was presented the Man of the Year Award. It was a small token of appreciation to an individual who has contributed greatly to the club's many successful years.
The fine dinner was followed by music and dancing for all. And of course, it was like old home week as members sought out old friends from bygone days. The silent auction part provided additional interest and it was easy to see the many community connections developed over the last 100 years.
The Mayor and his Chief of Staff enjoyed the festivities but, alas, due to budget considerations , did not bid on any items. Maybe next year.
