YLD Kicks off Spring with a Fling!
Last night the YLD hosted the Annual ACBA Spring Fling at BOCCA in Margate. BOCCA is a local and beach-goer favorite, so we couldn't think of a better way to kick off spring, albeit a little late (and hopefully bring some warm weather to South Jersey), than to host the Spring Fling there!
