October 2016 News Letter
Past Events and our Experiences :
Metro Food Drive

“It was me, Dani, and Sheyla, and we left in the morning and
commuted there together. We got there pretty early, and met up
with Mrs. Silke. We then proceeded to the entrance of the Metro
where our task was to ask if people wanted a cart then proceed
to ask if they would like to purchase a $5 bag of canned goods
that they could pay at the Cash then put in a box where it would
be going to a local charity for donation. We ended up filling 2
boxes during our shift, and it was a great experience for dealing
with rejection when people ignore you, but also seeing all the
kind and generous people who were feeling thankful and
donated.”

Humewood Fall Festival

Commencement

“It was my first time volunteering at

Commencement, and it was great. I was
handing out the gowns to the graduates
and this gave me a opportunity to get to
know the graduates! The after party in
the gym was decorated magnificently
with tons of food. Overall I had lots of
fun! ”
- Arlene So, Bulletin Editor.

“The event over all was an awesome experience! I was assigned to
the job of selling raffle tickets, and
beside my booth was an awesome
DJ. While I was volunteering I also
got to meet a lot of new people
and they were all very friendly. Not
to mention, the organizers were
awesome as well. They helped me
get everything set up and visited
me from time to time to see how I
was doing. Overall it was an awesome event and I wish I can volunteer there again sometime.”

Wychwood Barns

“Wychwood Barns invited key club members to volunteer with their
annual Halloween Party. I along with many others attended to help out.
Before the event had started, I helped out with the decorating the
Haunted House with tombstones and spreading out the cotton
cobwebs. Once the party started I had many different jobs to do. First, I
was located to the front entrance where I was responsible to let people
know that strollers were not permitted into the event. Then I was
repositioned to work at the candy booth, where I would sell candies in
exchange for tickets. Lastly I went and worked at the “Haunted House”
booth where I created tallies of the adults and children entering the
station. I would definitely recommend this volunteering opportunity for
everyone, it was fun and it will help develop your “people interaction
skills” because you will be interacting with children and adults. ”
