With a night of Bunco, dinner and a no-host bar, the only thing that won’t be a roll of the dice is the guarantee of a fun evening! The Special Olympics Santa Clarita and Tri-Valley is hosting its annual Bunco Tournament on Saturday, September 19 at 1:30 p.m. at the City of Santa Clarita Activities Center.

On an unfortunate note, Santa Clarita lost a beloved husband and father, and the community grieves his passing. Jeff Percy was one of five people who died in a mid-air plane crash over San Diego on August 16. Friends of the family are invited to attend Jeff’s service at Eternal Valley Memorial Park & Mortuary on Saturday, August 29 at 1 p.m. There will be a celebration of life at Westridge Clubhouse to follow that evening. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Percy family during this difficult time.
Until next time,
Linda, Moe and Alexander Hafizi
