It was a great honor to win the title of first princess of the Moorpark Apricot Festival held on July 8 at Moorpark College.

This never could have been possible if I didn't have the undying support of the people of Moorpark that generously donated their hard-earned money to my charity of choice, which was Moorpark Food Pantry, also known as Catholic Charities. I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.

The total that I collected for the Moorpark Food Pantry was $2,505 and was given to Mrs. Pat Esseff, representative of Moorpark Food Pantry.

Once again, thank you to everyone that helped me raise this wonderful donation for a great charity that helps all those in need in our wonderful city of Moorpark. Lisa Leal Moorpark
