Michelle And Jill In The Bronx

On Wednesday, Maria had the opportunity to interpret at the James J. Peters VA Hospital in the Bronx for a community event - with Michelle Obama, Dr. Jill Biden, and a whole bunch of Yankee people making an appearance. They were promoting Welcome Back Veterans, which is a Major League Baseball charities initiative (MLB Go Beyond) for returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families.

Maria arrived early to get through security and be cleared by Secret Service, but the program got a late start and really didn't begin until almost 2pm. Later on we searched the web, but alas, no photos of Maria interpreting the event could be found.

But do you see that group of people by the door? Maria is on the right, and attempting to escape before the masses leave the room. Hey, this pic is better than nothing at all!
