The PYO focuses on building a community for the youth on Prudence Island by providing activities that promote friendships while having fun! To become a member, you must be turning 10 years old in the calendar year until the age of 18 years old. The PYO members are pretty busy during the summer months assisting with the weekly kids’ BINGO nights and movie nights. They learn to work at the Snack Shack collecting money, making change, etc. They meet new friends and go on fun trips.
The purpose of the Prudence Improvement Association (PIA), a nonprofit organization, is for the betterment of the Prudence Island community. This is accomplished through the use of a community building as a gathering place for community events for adults and youth of the Island and the maintenance, preservation, and protection of real estate and other property for use and enjoyment by all islanders. The PIA is open from June to November.

Two con-men (Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh) get hold of a map to the lost City of Gold, El Dorado. After stowing away onto one of the ships of the Spanish explorer Cortez, the pair escapes and eventually do find the city. There, a priest (Armand Assante) proclaims them to be gods in a scheme to win control of the city for himself. Meanwhile, they meet a beautiful girl (Rosie Perez) who helps them in their ruse.
