Event Coverage
Members Have Fun at Silicon Valley YPN Grill & Chill With Your Peers
Silicon Valley YPN hosted its annual summer social barbeque at Grant Park in Los Altos on Wednesday, and the event was very successful, according to YPN Chair Selena Young. Tickets sold out with over 30 members in attendance. Members enjoyed burgers on the grill and other side dishes, then they teamed up for competitive field games, like a three-legged race, an egg-on-a-spoon relay, and water balloon toss.
"It turned out to be a fun day for everyone. The weather was perfect," said Young. "For many, it was the first in-person event in a long time, so it was good to network and just enjoy the afternoon with their peers."
SILVAR members are invited to join Silicon Valley YPN. There is no age limit to participate. If you would like to join, please email Selena Young at selena.young@cbnorcal.com.
