Over 200 Au Pair in America au pairs from Connecticut and New York participated in the annual APIA NYC Scavenger Hunt on October 25. The girls were grouped in teams of six, and given instructions which included taking pictures of themselves at certain city landmarks and bringing back specific items like a subway map. Cash prizes were awarded to the winning teams, and fun was had by all!
Columbus Day, which is observed annually on the second Monday of October, remembers Christopher Columbus’ arrival to the Americas on October 12, 1492.
