Merced Mayor Matthew Serratto was the center of attention at the Mayor’s Ball last Friday Aug. 26 at Ravello’s Restaurant in downtown Merced.
The “black tie” event attracted some 250 special guests who helped raise $20,000 for the D Street Shelter, the local American Legion and several other area non-profits in the community. The celebration was hosted and organized the Merced County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Volunteers included the Merced High School FFA students who helped serve dinner, and Le Grand High School FFA students who created beautiful floral centerpieces for the tables.
