Last Saturday, Claudio Farias hosted the group at his home, offering a delicious buffet/grill, live music and a playground area for children.
Among the regulars was John Brennan, who was the guest of honor, four of his children, John Jr, Michelle, Kathleen, Cynthia, and seven of his grandchildren. Other regulars included Royce Wheeler and daughter Raquel, Frank Raimo and daughter Frances, Carlos Soto Turver, Julio Rivas, Charles Butler and wife Laura, Dean Burke, John Boyer, Roger Beaulieu and wife Esther. In total, 40 people gathered at the special breakfast.
