Join us for great food and games with YAPA members and the families of Dillon International! As role models to all children, we have a special part to play in the live of these adopted children from Asia. We’ve got a variety of games to break the ice and get to know our little friends.

We’ll be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers and even Korean BBQ. There are a couple of tennis courts and the North Pointe Aquatic Center to cool off. Holloway Park is located at 335 Holloway Road off Baxter between Manchester and Clayton in Ballwin. http://www.ballwin.mo.us/index.php?PageID=93&SubID=101

Please email info@yapastl.org to RSVP so we can prepare enough food. If you have a grill and/or would like to volunteer, please email info@yapastl.org

See you there!
