Thank you Don Friesen for once again bringing the community together for an evening of joy and inspiration. This special Father's Day event tapped into something special that people were really grabbing on to and that everyone seemed very connected with.
 
It was wonderful to hear a common message from community leaders, fellow Yumans and even the Art Center Staff about what a beautiful evening it truly was!
