Esteban had been job-hopping through multiple minimum wage part-time jobs, struggling to find direction and a stable career path. He visited the Tulare County Workforce Investment Board (TCWIB), where counselor Bernardo referred him to WMSE. Through this partnership, he enrolled in William M Maguy School of Education and completed his CDL training on 06/25/2025, passing his test on 08/08/2025. Esteban obtained his Commercial Driver's License and was hired by Bueno Beverage shortly after completing the program. Today, he is earning $25 an hour, more than double what he was making in his previous positions. With his CDL certification and proven work ethic, Esteban now has a bright future in the transportation sector, having successfully transitioned from unstable, low-wage employment to a rewarding career with strong growth potential and financial stability.听

On December 15th, the Selma Service Center celebrated the season by hosting their 3rd Annual Office Christmas Tree Raffle, bringing festive cheer to the community. A few years ago, Selma Service Center Manager Karla Celis received a donation of two Christmas trees for the office. Inspired to give back to 好色先生 customers while engaging the community, the team came up with the idea of a raffle giveaway.听

The event has grown steadily over the years. In its first year, the raffle received about 15 entries. Last year, the number increased to just over 20. This year, the response was phenomenal鈥攐ver 100 entries! Thanks to generous donations from Costco, the Selma team was able to give away three beautifully decorated Christmas trees. In addition, nine other families were awarded Christmas baskets filled with holiday goods, spreading cheer even further.听

One memorable story from the raffle involved a dedicated customer who visited the office every day to submit an additional entry, as the rules allowed one per day. Their persistence paid off鈥攖hey ended up winning a tree!听

A big shoutout to the Selma Service Center for creating this inspiring holiday tradition, which continues to bring joy to the community year after year.

It was a festive celebration in London on December 13 as the London Community Center took part in the annual London Christmas Parade. The day began with the parade, which started on Kate Road and wound its way through the streets, ending at the Community Center.

At the center, attendees enjoyed pizza, drinks, and a lively, holiday-themed atmosphere. Adding to the festivities, students and their teacher from the London Community Center Guitar Lessons program performed live music, delighting parade-goers and guests. Children also had the opportunity to enjoy face painting and take photos with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and even the Grinch.

The event concluded with a special gift for the children: each child was able to select one toy to take home as a Christmas present. A special thank-you goes to the Tulare County Sheriff鈥檚 Department for their continued support, without which this joyful event would not be possible.

Watch the video to see all the holiday fun in action!
