This is an activity where we work directly with the youth at St.
Vincent's Villa, formerly Villa Maria. Games, crafts,
entertainment, food, etc. will be the order of the day. This
activity is another example of what being an Optimist is all
about--Being a Friend of Youth, Bringing Out the Best in Kids.
