Kathleen Landry, administrator of the Norco Adult Day Care Center, is appreciative of Simon and the rest of the Yard Boys."I don't know what we would do without them," she said."We make a chore list every week, and they get it all done."

Simon also is using his people skills as well as practicing the teamwork effort as he goes about his painting and repair work.Past job experiences, both his and fellow Yard Boys, figure prominently."Most of us came up through the ranks, working to a foreman position," he said.

NORCO - Twelve years ago, Kathleen Landry came up with the idea of a fundraising event that would have many benefits, in addition to raising funds for the Norco Adult Day Care Center.

The event was a summer talent show, presented by volunteers, and offered to the public.

"There are so many senior citizens that don't get to see these types of performances," said Landry, administrator of the center."I also wanted to have a daytime show."

Landry solicited performers those first few years, and welcomed about 10 acts.The first audiences were comprised of about 100 patrons.

"We try to add new acts each year, this year we have more than half a dozen," said Landry

And more than 1000 tickets were sold, according to Landry.
