John Arrillaga - whose name graces this beautiful new Family Center.

The moment has arrived: CUTTING THE RIBBON! by a young Stockton couple who are grateful guests at the House. 

Everyone needs to give themselves a hand!!!

The Kitchen is ready for new cooks.... 

...but first there is cake.

A busy lobby

....a house on wheels....

Sweeping "his" patio, John Arrillaga, getting it ready for guests who'll be moving in next weekend.

The sun has come out at Ronald McDonald House Stanford; may it shine on it for a long, long time.
