To the Editor: 

Thanks to University Avenue Andronico's, for once again hosting its annual July 4 parking lot barbecue. What a good community event it is - people of all ages and races talking, eating and dancing together. I especially appreciate it for the seniors, and for those who don't have their own backyards or grills. How nice to be able to sit out in the sun with your neighbors, listen to live music, and enjoy a July 4th barbecue. 

Thanks, also, to Andronico's for its participation in the escrip program - 5 percent of all my purchases now goes to my favorite arts organization.  

We are fortunate to have Andronico's in our midst, with its dedicated, friendly staff and sense of community. The old University Avenue Co-Op maybe gone, but its spirit continues.
