Today, Candle Lighters said goodbye to our dear friend Flo Moscon, a Candle Lighter since 1998. Flo was a friendly face who performed many tasks behind the scenes, in our games Midway, but was most often found greeting guests in our game tickets booth for many years. Flo sponsored many Candle Lighters into the organization, including 4 of our presidents. She was a loving wife, mom and nonni, a longtime volunteer at Azevada Elementary where she helped establish a school garden, and worked for AT&T as well. She was a big Disneyland fan (especially Flo’s V8 Cafe at California Adventure). Thank you Flo for making this world brighter! 🧡🖤🎃
