The Grandparents Connection held its 19th Annual Picnic celebration last Saturday, July 15 at Chula Vista’s Beautiful Bayfront Park. The free event featured live music, creative dancers, a kids zone and a BBQ feast fit for a king. The day’s theme was: The Love of Family is Life’s Greatest Blessing. 

Saxophonist Supreme Erisa Nicole worked her usual musical magic. The same can definitely be said for harpist Mariea Antionette. Costco, Mental Health San Diego, Walmart, KUSI-TV, Bethel AME, Sycaun and many other associations, local businesses and sororities were instrumental in helping the GPC put together another successful celebration.

An added feature to this year’s annual celebration featured a wedding vowel renewal ceremony for the Grandparents Connection’s CEOs, Clifford Lambert and Shearl Lambert, who celebrated 40 years of matrimony.

“We are always grateful to all our sponsors, talented guests and all the grandparents and grandkids and everybody that came out to celebrate with us on this very special occasion. We are truly blessed,” Clifford Lambert shared.
