• On July 17, 2010 we conducted our first mentor/mentee matching party. It was a festive environment filled with fun and excitement. Many of the children in attendance took full advantage of the bounce house and other available activities. Not to mention the shaved ice line never seemed to dissipate until the conclusion of the event. The shaved ice came in handy, as it was an extremely hot afternoon. Pictures may be found below.
