Cinco de Mayo Celebration

What a magnificent feast of Mexican dishes! We had a deliicious time eating our way through all that delectable food at the Cinco de Mayo Celebration last week.

Thank you to our wonderful Hospitality Team for once again treating us to an enjoyable neighborhood gathering. These events are so important in bringing our neighborhood together and building our community. It takes a lot of work to put on these monthly dinners for our neighborhood. We want to congratulate and thank Robin Lockwood, Debbie Ries and all the Hospitality Team for all the events they held this season....each one was outstanding. The work you do is the true meaning of "hospitality!"
