Three Puente CERT-Trained Staff, Elizabeth Flores, Edith Flores, and Cristina Salgado, joined Community Outreach Worker, Alicia Vega, to help staff the THRIVE emergency preparedness booth at the San Mateo County Fair this weekend. Helping make the South Coast disaster ready is an important priority for Puente in 2011.

Every year at graduation, Puente recognizes those High School students who work at Puente during their school years. Last night, 7 graduates of the Pescadero High School Class 2011 received the “Youth Bridges Award”.

Congratulations to the following graduates and their families for such accomplishment:

Ricardo Cabrera, Jose Castro, Elizabeth Flores, Barbara Guzman, Hector Lopez, Mariela Lopez and Raul Rodriguez.
