PIE CONTEST HELPS HUNGRY

“WONDERFUL APPLE PIES” This was the opinion of the lucky judges who sampled the delicious pies at the fair. All pies were served on the USF lunch trucks. Dr. Dubyak and his family of Dubyak Family Chiropractic on Geer Road organized this annual contest in conjunction with the County fair. Dr. Dubyak and his family donated the prizes: $100.00 to the 1st place winner. Loriann Wixom, and $50.00 to the 2nd place winner, Elsie Silva. Thanks to all the contestants and judges. Special thanks to the Dubyak Family for a great event. Keep an eye out for the pumpkin pie contest coming this fall just before Thanksgiving. For pictures, see this month's newsletter.

Today, 4.6 million Californians, including
1.8 million children live in poverty.
A recent study of 75 food and shelter providers in
California shows the situation is getting worse.
