Surry Friends of Youth hold holiday party

The Surry Friends of Youth’s Best Friends and Special Friends Programs recently enjoyed their fifth annual Holiday Bowling Party at Mount Airy Lanes.

The Surry Friends of Youth is a non-profit agency advocating the needs of youth throughout Surry County.

More than 40 people in association with S.F.O.Y. attended the party and were treated to a night of bowling, pizza, socializing with friends and a surprise visit from Santa Claus. The Surry Friends of Youth would like to thank Mount Airy Lanes and Domino’s for their help in making the party a huge success. S.F.O.Y would also like to thank the anonymous donor for taking care of their bowling for the evening.

If you would like information on how to become a volunteer for the Best Friends or Special Friends Program, contact Michael Nunn at 789-9064 or email michael@sfoy.org.
