Yes, Virginia, there is a Christmas party

Seated at the Youngstown Lions Club’s 91st Christmas party is 83-year old Virginia Ayres. She has attended the event every year from age 7. This year’s party took place Dec. 7 at the Youngstown Saxon Club. There were 119 Youngstown school children in attendance. Each child received gifts from Santa and Mrs. Claus and a gift bag from the Lions club members. The event was made possible by the club’s annual Turtle Derby earlier this year.
