Norma Dayton's volunteer work includes many environmental causes including Turtle Patrol at Venice Beach and helping children use binoculars to bird watch.
Behind every cause that Norma Dayton has put her heart and effort into — and there are many — it all comes down to the children.
“I’ve always been fond of kids and felt if we take care of kids while they’re little, they’ll grow up decent adults,” Dayton said.
