On February 24th, the Life Course Scholars group and I put together an intergenerational event at the Gary and Mary West Senior Center. I worked at the clothing station, where we got hundreds of donations of clothing ranging from shoes to thick winter jackets. Thankfully, our station was super popular amongst the people that showed up to our event, and I am glad that we were able to help out with providing them with some clothing. I saw many familiar faces from the last time I was at the Gary and Mary West Senior Center, which was super heartwarming. When strolling through the stations, I noticed a woman who was painting with some watercolors of some flowers. I could tell that she was very creative and artistic, and I was so happy that she wanted to paint since there were not many who chose to. Overall, the event went super smoothly and I hope to be a part of something like this in the near future!
