Christmas Tree Lane Walk Was Fun For All

Wow! What a fun time we had walking Christmas Tree Lane on December 3rd (a “walk only” night). It has been years since I’ve seen the Lane and it’s stunning with all the lights and decorations…even some live singing here and there. The biggest light display by far was at the home of Dean Alexander, a principal at Krazan & Associates. It was a fun time and something we will have to repeat next year.

Annual Toys for Tots Drive

The Fresno YMF has been doing this toy drive for a couple decades. It was another successful year distributing boxes to local engineering companies and collecting them in December. They also held a beer event with one free beer if members brought a toy to donate.
