Halloween Project!

With the troubled economy and increase in homelessness, we knew for a CSF semester project, that we needed to do something to help out those truly in need. Our first plan was to work with an organization that helps families dealing with abusive relationships. Our plans did not work with this particular organization's schedule, so we basically scrapped our previous plans and started new. We brainstormed alternate projects, and decided to have a meeting in order to involve our club members more and get some of their ideas. We had the ideas of maybe working with Shriner's hospital or a homeless shelter, and everyone decided that it would be a great idea to throw a Halloween Party for a homeless shelter; and that is what we are doing.

Next Friday, we are hosting a Halloween Party for needy children. I know it will be a success. It is such a good feeling to know that we were able to come together in CSF and create this. I am so excited for next Friday and cannot wait to put a smile on the children' s faces.

This has really made me realize how important it is to think of others and the tough times, especially as the holiday season approaches. It is easy to forget, if you are not strongly affected by the poor economy, about those who are. So, I think that everyone should give a bit of their time during the next few months to go out of their way, to help someone who is less fortunate than themself.
