Wellness Expo at Schiller Community Center (6 Hrs)

Volunteering at Schiller community center was my first ever volunteering experience.  As per our usual zoom meeting, Keiana, my mentor helped me sign up for the event.  The event went on from 9AM to 3PM. I reached the place a little early and met few people who worked over there.  After having small talks with the employees of the center, I found out that this was the annual event that is held every year to engage attract young individuals' interest in sports. However, If I talk about the event, there was a lot of stuff needed to be settled before the event starts. I contributed in setting up the tables, organizing the equipment for the event. After that, me and my co-volunteer Mark, were assigned to handle the bicycle smoothie maker, which was fun. There was a blender on the backseat of the bicycle, connected with the peddles, the more you peddle the more you blend your smoothie. Every young and old individual at the event rode the bicycle and enjoyed the smoothies. Apart from that, there were individuals representing different institutions such as Ohio State University, Columbus Fire department, Columbus Police department etc. Around 2'o clock we started wrapping up the equipment. By the time, me and Mark washed down the equipment and put everything back in its place. I enjoyed talking to Mike meanwhile, he shared a lot of his life experiences. After wrapping up everything, I said goodbye to everybody and started driving home. Overall, it was quite a memorable experience for me.
