This quarter marks the start of the planning for our Healthy Aging Projects (HAPs)! We split into groups based on our interests. The class’ project ideas range from gardening workshops to an intergenerational walkathon, which all sounds amazing. It’s crazy that all these ideas will come to life within the next few months. It’s also refreshing to work with new group members for this project because everybody’s ideas are so different and innovative in the best ways. My members and I decided to create an event merging our ideas of offering free haircut and pampering services and setting up a runway and photoshoot for the seniors to work their new looks. The services would hopefully include haircuts, makeup, and/or massages. To incorporate our original idea of having a fashion show, we’re thinking about gathering clean, thrifted clothing items for the seniors to model and take at the end of the event along with goody bags filled with toiletries. Of course, there would also be a photoshoot with my DSLR and Polaroid cameras! One wholesome idea that one of my members mentioned is for us to create a magazine with all the photos from this event to showcase the beautiful faces of the West Center. The West Center is our target host site, given their abundant space and large population of lower-income seniors. We got in contact with the Center right away and turns out, our event can definitely be a possibility. I’m excited to see how our plans will improve and unfold in the coming month! Stay tuned for updates. :)
