Events


These blog and media features cover all 80+ events that New Visions of Tomorrow has organized and staffed since late 2011. 

2011 Holiday Party

With Christmas and New Year's right around the corner, this was the perfect time for a get-together with Vista Center members. Many people were familiar faces from the winter skating event during the past week, and the gathering had a very homely feel. In fact, several college graduates who were originally part of the Youth Group had come back to visit as well! 

Local restaurants and donations covered the catering to the party, which was hosted at the First Presbyterian Church in Mountain View. Afterwards, many games were set up for the younger kids to have fun at; balloon experts and tattoo artists were hired to bring some color into the picture as well. Many of the older students enjoyed a karaoke station, singing classics both individually and in large groups. Everyone left warm and full during the rainy season of the year.

2011 Winter Skating Event

We participated at the annual ice skating party hosted by the Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The Winter Lodge in Palo Alto was packed, with nearly 30 families present! The Youth Group kids had tons of fun, and many stepped on the ice for the first time in their lives. NVOT members were among those who guided inexperienced skaters on the ice in addition to helping to serve dinner, lace skates, and other miscellaneous activities. 

After pizza, drinks, and desserts were served several hours into the event, we ended on a happy note with artificial snow drifting over the children.
