On February 13, Marshall Center Ballroom C was filled with 33 eager children from the Boys and Girls Club waiting to celebrate Valentine's Day. In an event hosted by the Volunteer Council, 13 students took time out of their Saturday to treat the children to a day of games and fun with activities like Twister, beanbag tossing, balloon animals, dancing, cookie decorating, and cards to keep them smiling.
This event brought back old faces from last semester's Boys and Girls Club Halloween party. Certain children even recognized volunteers from the Halloween event and shared their excitement with the students they remembered.
"More kids are getting involved," Janine Kiray, co-chair of Volunteer Council said. "We're building relationships with them."
Monique Konstantinovic, the other Volunteer Council co-chair, shared similar enthusiasm that Kiray did. The pair has already reserved a room for the Halloween Party in October.
