Thanks for all your work to include children of all backgrounds to have opportunities to come together, gain musical talents and share with assisted living centers, Christmas performances, city wide July 4th celebration, parades, and increasing relaxing social dinner gatherings for music and conversation downtown @ Roosters Texas Bar B Que. How amazing to see people grab for their phones to get pictures of children working and playing musical instruments and parents, grandparents , friends, and youth visiting but not texting . We enjoyed family time experiencing an evening of fun, young people gaining work skills and varied musical performances while dining. We had no distractions of TVs, texting , and could have face to face live social time. Congrats on a job well done and wonderful food and restaurant!
