COMMUNITY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Thank you for your interest in the Roosevelt P.A.L.
Summer Programs. For many youth from Roosevelt and the surrounding
communities, our Summer Program will be the home for fun-filled educational
experiences, cultural activities and recreational exposure. The Roosevelt
P.A.L. has served children for the past 20 years. Our experience and
dedication has enabled us to be a leader in youth programs. We are
delighted that so many continue to acknowledge our experience and
participate in our programs.
A variety of activities are outlined in the brochure.
