The Arc-South Bay was represented in Gardena’s Cinco de Mayo parade on Saturday, May 4th by President Paul Flahive and riders. Paul drove a convertible with passengers Florence Bagsby (Board Member) and her brother Willie Boykins (program participant) and Paul’s granddaughter. Although they got tired of waving, they had fun and it was good to get our name out in public again! (The convertible was decorated with magnetic signs advertising our name.)
