After a year of being cooped up online for COVID-19 reasons, YPDers had an outing at Dave & Busters before heading back to school on Saturday, August 7th. They felt that it was important for YPDers to do a fun event in which they could fellowship with each other while practicing social distancing and cleaning practices to ensure each other’s safety. There were twelve YPDers in attendance for this event along with several YPD advisors.
