The home of Maria and Chuck Guinta of La Cañada Flintridge was the venue when the Crescenta Cañada Democratic Club gathered for its annual holiday party last month.

The event celebrated a productive year and honored officers who helped the club during the November election. It also marked the last day in office of former state Assemblyman Anthony Portantino.

About 50 members and friends turned out for the event, many bringing their favorite appetizers to share. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) was also on hand, and presented a certificate of achievement to club member Celina Lew.
