The crane lowers down boxes of toys and clothes obtained from a drive on the CMA campus.  The items were donated to the Arturo Pratt Orphanage in Chile; it took two truck loads to get it all there.  Photo taken by Cadet Chris Mabie.

The CMA Circle K Club also raised over $2,000 for the Orphanage, donated by students, staff and the Vallejo Kiwanis.  Here, Captain Weinstock, the Director of the Orphanage, Cadet Fonzi and a Board Member exchange plaques and thanks.  Photo taken by Cadet Chris Mabie.

The Cadets were greeted with nothing but smiles.  The students didn't want to go back into classes and even wanted the Cadets to return to play basketball.   Photo taken by Cadet Chris Mabie.

After the visit to the orphanage the kids were invited to tour the Golden Bear.  Cadet Umeko Foster greeted the excited youths as they came aboard.

Cadet Daniel Spath conducted the tour in Spanish and the bridge was one of the first stops.
