The Committee for Restoration of the Mission San Jose (CRMSJ) thanks everyone who sponsored or attended our Meet Me at the Mission Founder’s Gala. We don’t have all the numbers yet, but the evening raised a significant portion of the amount needed for restoring the exterior of the Mission Church. Those in attendance enjoyed an evening of heritage, hospitality, and generosity along with a delicious meal by Saki’s Spin-A-Yarn and wine by Mission Peak Vineyards. Mayor Raj Salwan recognized CRMSJ for our “Dedicated Efforts to Preserve and Restore Historic Mission San Jose.” And the Supervisors of all five Districts of Alameda County united in a joint Proclamation recognizing the 229^th Anniversary of Mission San Jose and the “ongoing preservation efforts led by Committee for Restoration of the Mission San Jose.”

Thank you once again to all who came, and my deepest gratitude to the ones who worked so hard to put on this wonderful event.
