First trip to the skate park!

We finally made it to the Washington Street Skate Park!  Check out pictures at here.  My apologies for the blurriness of some of the pictures; I'm still working on my skateboard photography skills.

"Native Youth Honoring Our Elders" a momentous occasion!

Thank you to all who attended our conference/celebration, "Native Youth Honoring Our Elders: A Celebration of Wellness, A Recognition of Vickie Gambala's 33 Years of Service" this past Saturday.  The event drew ~450 participants on May14th, which was proclaimed "Vickie Gambala Day" by the City of San Diego.  Visit our Photobucket account here for pictures of the event.  We also have a Youtube video featuring the event here.  With so many activities and people, the day went by too fast!  We are truly honored and grateful to Vickie for all of her dedication and the tremendous work she has done for San Diego's American Indian and Alaska Native communities.  Happy retirement, Vickie!
