Cinco de Mayo: In May of each year, Club kids celebrate the tradition of Cinco de Mayo. Youth celebrate with sombreros, maracas and burritos.
Easter Egg Hunt: Each year around Easter, our kids participate in a Club wide Easter Egg Hunt.Youth have the chance to dye or paint Easter eggs which are then hidden around the Club along with plastic eggs for a chance to win an Easter basket.

Mardi Gras Party: During the month of February, our youth celebrate Mardi Gras by busting pinatas, making masks and enjoying the holiday!
Monthly Birthday Parties: Each month we host a birthday party for all the kids at the Club and recognize ones with a birthday in that month by singing to them and having a birthday cake and special snacks. We also decorate a bulletin board each month to recognize those with birthdays that month. Local businesses and organizations area able to sponsor and help give the parties for the kids.
