Thrive Upstate Spring Party

Yesterday I volunteered at the Thrive Upstate Spring Party which was hosted by the Fountain Inn Parks and Recreation Department. I volunteered to set up and greet but it was so much fun that I stayed to help serve lunch. I was surprised to see one of my former students from 23 years ago. He is now 42 years old and he remembered me by name. I also saw another guy who eats at the same restaurant that we do. 


I enjoyed decorating the tables and gym. Sue bought cute fake ants and ladybugs for the tables. Helium balloons were used for the centerpieces. 


When they arrived, they sat at tables while Justin Kelly welcomed them. Then they were split into groups and sent to different stations where they played games. After everyone had been through all 8 stations, they returned to the gym. After the blessing, everyone was served a delicious lunch of pasta alfredo, green beans, apple sauce, and ice cream. 


After lunch, there was an awards ceremony where participants received medals. 


Then there was a dance and they loved that!
