A Great Day on the Avenue - June 25, 2011

As part of the Willow Glen Business Association, New Life was invited to take part in this years' Dancin' on the Avenue in Downtown Willow Glen. This gave us an opportunity to serve and meet the local San Jose community through this long-running and very popular street festival.

This year we held our first-ever Saliboat Gutter Races in the Kids Area! What fun! Kids of all ages took advantage of the free opportunity to blow their sailboat to victory. Everyone left the booth happy, maybe a little dizzy! and with a great prize bag.

Our volunteers also had a great time with each other during the set up, booth time and tear down and with the children and parents we met at the event. We even got a chance to share with the local city council member a bit about what we have been doing as a church over the past few years!

Many thanks to Miss Gina for coordinating such a fun community outreach event and to all of the volunteers who braved the crowds to come down and cheerfully help out the local community!
