SPECIAL PROJECT

The Easter Basket giving project for 70 kids from the Bonsall, Fallbrook and Pala areas was supported by Valley View Casino and Pala Mesa Resort.

Angel McCormick asked the Bonsall Chamber to help distribute the baskets. Elvira Guzman, a Bonsall resident volunteer, Barbara Chahbazian and Diane Trappen from the Bonsall Woman’s Club and Mary Jane Poulter from the Bonsall Chamber were very pleased to help. A thank you to Seth Essenfeld of Bonsall Photo and Postal for keeping the Easter Baskets in his store until they could be distributed.

Angel McCormick had previously lent a helping hand to the Bonsall Chamber during the Christmas Holiday, when she shopped for toys to help the needy children. Her compassion for others is very apparent.
