Service: 5 hours.
Cleaning the Schabarum Park was a great event...but strangely stressful at the same time. This was, after all, my first event as the official Vice President of the 2014-2015 Charter Oak Key Club, and it seemed as if this event would set the tone of work for the rest of the year in the club. All of the new term officers (plus one) were present and this was a great opportunity to bond. We were able to connect much better and have fun as we spent the morning/noon prettying up the park.
There were many tasks available to us at the park, including pulling weeds, dusting the central area, removing tree waste, and repainting walls. The best part of the event was that there were so many other high school students there from sister clubs and we were all able to come together, despite long distances, and put together effort in bettering the local community. The Schabarum Park is located in Rowland Heights and is obviously not part of my own direct community; this was the same for many of the other students. The point here is that all of us came together to selflessly improve a community even though it may not have been our own.
