VICTORIA PARK'S 85TH BIRTHDAY!

Victoria Park turned 85 this month and there was quite a celebration. The Park invited all the residents of Victoria Park to the Art Serve and offered free hot Hors d'oeuvres, and THREE BIRTHDAY CAKES (no candles though!). There was just one “little” glitch, everyone was asked to bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to The Pantry of Broward, Inc. The residents came, the food came and on the evening of June 12, from 7-10 pm The Pantry collected 280 pounds of food, had lots of fun and took lots of pictures. Thank you Victoria Park Residents and here’s to your 86th birthday “Miss Park”.
