SPECIAL
FEATURE: KEY Club in double header major
service projects |
|
|
|
Members of the Rosemead High School
KEY Club devoted 300 service hours to two back-to-back New Years weekend
projects, according to Mimi Ngo, RHS KEY Club secretary. |
|
|
|
The first was in connection
with the Family Unida Christmas party at the |
|
|
|
"Everyone worked together the whole time. We started out by
bringing an endless amount of gifts into the recreation center. Then we put
up a variety of decorations such as a Christmas tree and balloons. |
|
|
|
"The Christmas tree was really fun to put up! It was
like a puzzle. The ornaments were pretty cute too. Our members created four
balloon arches and were treated to a pizza lunch during break. |
|
|
|
"This event was exclusively for those who suffer from MS
and their families. While working, music was playing and members danced to
the music while they worked. It was a lot of fun and it was very
heart-warming to watch the faces of children light up." |
|
|
|
The next morning, Saturday
December 29, fourteen RHS KEY Clubbers met at 7:00 am
in
Reports KEY Club volunteer Kevin
Tsai, describing a typical volunteer's experience: |
|
|
|
"When I arrived there, we
waited in line for a few minutes, then they assigned
me with a job of throwing garbage into the bigger garbage. After that, my
group was assigned to help with the |
|
|
|
"The float was really nice with
all the decorations and fresh flowers. I liked the combination of the yellow,
orange, and white flowers that was applied to the trees. My job was to
prepare flowers and hand them to the people aboard the float. I continued
with this job until I switched to being on the float, receiving flowers and
handing them to everyone. |
|
|
|
"After the lunch break I changed my job again and instead of receiving flowers I had to make them. I put flowers into the toothpick so the decorators can attach it to the float. Overall, I thought that this was a really nice experience and I enjoyed it very much." |
