It was a fun filled night at our ESR "fun event" at Henebery's Spirits in Vista. Past President Rich Agnew graciously put together a slide video
Here are a few pictures from the Fisher House delivery team (George Beitner, Jack Anderson & Dave Herbert & Victoria Powell-Johnson). Fisher House at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside is an organization where military and veteran families can stay free of charge while a loved one is in the hospital. This is a wonderful event that ESR does every year!!
