On Thursday, December 7, the Don Bosco Associates gathered for their annual Christmas Luncheon. The 2006 event was held at the Century Club of California in San Francisco. The Christmas spirit was noticeable from the start as old friends caught up on events of the year, and new friendships were formed. The last gathering of the group was at the Spring Luncheon in April.

There were five new Associates at this year’s Christmas Luncheon; the group continues to grow in number and enthusiasm. New Associates at the luncheon included Marlin and Pat Gill, Stephen and Cecile Kalthoff, and Elaine Walsh.

Also joining the Associates and provincial staff were Salesian priests and brothers from around the province, most noticeably Fr. John Malloy from Sts. Peter and Paul parish; Youth Ministry Coordinator Fr. Mel Trinidad; Director of Don Bosco Hall, Fr. Tom Prendiville; and Fr. Mario Mich.
