They will accompany that guest and/or small-party of guests through the back patio entrance and down the 'Walk of Star's" (signs in ground with Pictures, short phrases or Key-event dates and/or graduates, benchmarks, etc.) to the sidewalk in front of the NEW YAPO Center. There they will introduce them to another young-person (the first young person returns to #68 Karen Court) who will bring them to the front door of the New YAPO Center where they will have their picture taken in the front entrance. The young person will introduce the guest or small-party to an official-greeter whom will accompany them inside and/or to the tented areas for refreshments and additional informal introductions to other guests, etc.
