Alec Cabacungan, of Shriners famous “Love to the Rescue” commercial, was graciously hosted for lunch by Jorge Mendoza at Vinoteca di Monica, before visiting the Paul Revere House. Thank you from the Aleppo Shriners and Shriners Hospital for hosting the private luncheon for Alec and his family. Alec came to Boston from his hometown of Chicago to speak at a Shriners’ event. Alec received the royal treatment from not only Vinoteca di Monica, but also from the Boston Bruins, who signed a team jersey for him, the Boston Red Sox who brought him on to the field, and the New England Patriots who gave him a tour of the Stadium.
