2019 Alhambra Day at the Shrine Circus
On Valentine’s Day, 2019 the southeast Michigan Alhambra Caravans treated over 4000 of GOD’s Special people to a fun filled day at the 2019 Circus. The Suburban Showplace in Novi, Michigan has added an inside arena that was able to include high wire acts due to a high ceiling. An Oasis was included for volunteers after the show on the balcony above the arena also catered by DeCarlo’s. As in the past, 24 Alhambrans and their friends started the day at DeCarlo’s Banquet Hall where over 4000 hot dogs were cooked, and placed in special bags to keep them warm for transit to the Suburban Showplace. At the venue, other Alhambrans and their guests distributed these hot dogs along with Animal crackers and water bottles that were staged on Wednesday, the day before the Circus. The new arena provided a much improved parking and entry into the facility that now includes a full 3-Rings for the different acts. |

Galicia Caravan – Life Handicapped Outdoors Fishing Derby
This was the first time in almost 25 years that the fishing derby was
almost rained out. I said, "almost" because bad weather would never
dampen these kids spirits. There’s a core group that really looks
forward to this event and we’re not going to let a little rain or wind
disappoint them. The biggest fish caught (and released) this year was a
9.5 inch bass but to the child that pulled it in it was huge. Great job
everyone. |
Manresa’s Clinton River Cruise
On September 20, 2015, Manresa Caravan provided a 3-hour cruise on the
Clinton River for 61 of GOD’s special people. The weather was perfect
for the cruise and all participants had a great time and thoroughly
enjoyed the cruise as well as the lunch of burgers, dogs, goldfish
crackers, chips and various soft drinks. |
