A day of caring meant a day of sharing

NEW FRIENDS- Destiny Rivas, 4, of Santa Paula, left, laughs with United Way volunteer Dana Paulinski of Ventura as they make beaded bracelets at the Picnic in the Park at Camarillo's Mission Oaks Park on Saturday. Meanwhile, 9-year-old Oxnard resident Michelle Keyes, below, toasts her eclair over coals at the park. Picnic in the Park is a day of fun for local at-risk youth waiting to be paired up with adult mentors from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County. The event took place during the 18th annual Day of Caring, when United Way volunteers from all over the county spent time working with many nonprofit agencies, including Big Brothers Big Sisters.
