- Cleveland Police Community Policing and 2nd District joined our friend Juan Cancel from EMS at the Hispanic Senior Day celebration at La Sagrada Familia Church on Thursday!! The seniors were treated to a great meal, dancing, and a dominoes tournament. Some important takeaways from the event were that these Hispanic seniors were some of the most energetic group of seniors we’ve ever encountered and they sure did have fun, and they take their dominoes games very seriously!
