Overall Experience
Blessed

The Indian Center in Livermore is great.
I was laid off in Oct/08 So I went by and talked to Mary Puthoff and we set up times for me to volunteer. It made me feel good that I am meeting new friends and learning about the center. My family and I come on Tuesday nights for beading with Jim and drumming and it is great to have a place to feel needed during these hard times so this is a Blessing. Thank you Roxzanna Martinez
