Former Active 20-30 Club Member and current Optimist Club member Michel Napolitano still remembers those good old days.


“My Dad, then a member of 20-30, used to rally the kids here in town and get them out of the kitchen so our moms could get our turkey and dressing ready to go. I am so glad we could bring this Coronado tradition back through our new friend and owner of Village Theatres, Lance Alspaugh.”
