Elf 2

Join Santa and His Elves
 
'Tis the season for family fun at the Victory Family YMCA!  On Saturday, December 6th, pack up the kids and join Santa starting at 9:00 a.m. in our gymnasium.  Children may have their pictures taken with Santa and enjoy breakfast with their families.  This event is free for all YMCA members but you do need to register at the Welcome Center by Thursday, December 3rd.  Don't forget to bring one unopened toy per child to help out with our Giving Tree!
 
And after breakfast you may leave the children with us and enjoy a few hours out shopping.  The fun continues with lots of activities, games and crafts from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m.  Lunch is provided, as well!  There is a small charge for this event  ($15 for members and $20 for program participants.) Pease sign up at the Welcome Center.  For more information contact James Triplette at (757) 867-3300 x 228.
