Kalindi Sevilla – SRI Ice Cream Event Raffle Winner:
Let’s start by raising our cones to Kalindi Sevilla, the lucky winner of our mouthwatering Ice Cream event raffle! With a sprinkle of luck and a scoop of good fortune, Kalindi seized the opportunity to savor an assortment of delightful ice cream flavors. The event was a huge hit, and we are delighted that Kalindi was able to experience the sweetness it had to offer. We hope Kalindi enjoys the ice cream maker and gift basket.

Piyumi Wijesekara- Lucky Recipient of the Moffett BBQ Event Raffle:
On the savory side of things, we have Piyumi, who was fortunate enough to win the raffle for our Weber BBQ grill. Piyumi’s name was drawn from the pool of enthusiastic participants, granting her the opportunity to explore her grilling skills and wow her guests at a future BBQ. Congratulations Piyumi!

We extend our thanks to the dedicated organizers, volunteers and staff who put their time and effort into planning and executing these events. Your hard work and dedication are the cornerstones of these vibrant gatherings, and we appreciate all that you do to make our community stronger and closer.

Once again, congratulations to Kalindi Sevilla for winning the SRI Ice Cream event raffle, and to Piyumi for being the lucky recipient of the Moffett BBQ event.

Popsicle Fun Facts: The Popsicle was invented by an 11-year-old who kept it secret for 18 years.

• The popsicle is a local invention.
• The inventor was Frank Epperson who, in 1905, left a mixture of powdered soda and water out on the porch, which contained a stir stick. That night, temperatures in San Francisco reached record low temperature. When he woke the next morning, he discovered that it had frozen to the stir stick, creating a fruit flavored ice treat that he named the Epsicle. Eighteen years later he patented it and called it the Popsicle.
• The ice pop was introduced to the public at an Oakland ball for firemen in 1922.
• May 27th is National Grape Popsicle Day.
• August 26th is National Cherry Popsicle Day.
• The Popsicle company claims that its annual sales are over two billion and that its best-selling flavor is cherry.
• On June 22, 2005, Snapple tried to beat the existing Guinness Book of World Records entry of a 1997 Dutch 21-foot ice pop by attempting to erect a 25-foot ice pop in New York City. The 17.5 short tons of frozen juice that had been brought from Edison, New Jersey in a freezer truck melted faster than expected, dashing hopes of a new record. Spectators fled to higher ground as firefighters hosed away the kiwi-strawberry-flavored mess.
