Staff and students were extremely generous with donations this year along with Orchard Church which donated 40 turkeys to our event! Thank you all so much for helping to collect food items, counseling for helping with our list, those who helped us promote, and a huge thank you to our drivers who gave up part of their Friday before break to help us with this wonderful event.

On Friday before break, Dean Kramer and Mrs. Copeland were able to take 29 OG students to hear Secretary Robert Reich speak about his book the Common Good. Secretary Reich is a political economist who has worked under three presidential administrations and is currently a Professor at Berkeley. Olga Diaz, City Council member and Interim Dean of Counseling at Palomar, supplied copies of his book for each of our attending students at the Escondido Center for the Arts. They received a shout out at the onset of his keynote address, got their books autographed by Secretary Reich and photos taken with him. It was a rich learning experience.
