July Parade

OM, Verdugo Hills, D03N

The McGroarty Arts Center event allowed me the opportunity to assist the center while interacting with those in my community. Before the event began, we were given instructions about what we would be assisting with. Throughout the Fourth of July Parade that is hosted every year in our city, we would be handing out flyers to promote summer programs offered by the arts center. As the parade took off, I was quick to begin handing out flyers to families, which was the specific task I was given. After handing every person or child a flyer, I would offer them a few pieces of candy, and it was amazing to see people’s faces light up when I asked. Although it was relatively hot, I was distracted by trying to give flyers to anyone I was able to hand to. Regardless, the event gave me another opportunity to serve my community.
