Service/Creativity
I participated in the trick-or-trunk at the Boys and Girls Club of Goshen as a Keystone member. Keystone members help to regulate and initiate many community service projects around the local area..The purpose of this activity was to promote the Boys and Girls Club of Goshen and invite children to gather more candy for their treat bags during Halloween. A friend and I dressed up as medieval princesses and stood along a path in the main gym of the Boys and Girls Club handing candy and other treats to guests who walked by. The experience was rewarding. I had the chance to see many new faces and some faces I already knew, gaining myself a better understanding of the people in my community. I also love playing dress up, so the princess costume was a plus. Before the event had started, my friend and I took a cardboard box and painted a castle pattern on it from scratch. We also glued flags to the corners and cut out a drawbridge to complete the makeshift castle. This was a collaborative effort between my friend and I. Being able to represent the keystone club at the trick-or-trunk allowed me to see Halloween from the perspective of a candy distribution adult rather than a trick-or-treating child.
Outcomes from this experience:
- Undertook new challenges.
- Planned and initiated activities.
- Worked collaboratively with others.
