December 5, the Community Advisory Board, a community-based board of very active neighbors from the Agape Community Center neighborhoods, enjoyed a delicious pot-luck complete with hot dip, Sloppy Joes, healthy tuna salad, and amazing cakes and cookies, including cheese cake! Almost every one of the Community Advisory Board members attended this delicious feast celebrating Christmas in our community!
