This past week we had the opportunity to see the Casa De Manana Prom come to life after participating in planning the event. For this event, we had the opportunity to choose the type of decorations to go with their Rock n’ Roll theme which was not too challenging especially given the group effort. Once arriving to the location and seeing the prom come to life, it was truly rewarding to see all of the Casa de Manana residents enjoy their time socializing at the event. It was fun seeing the amount of energy that was brought on by the community members as they participated in dancing and the photo booth as well.
After talking to one of the residents, I realized how valuable the photo booth aspect was to these residents, as one of them mentioned how fun it was to take pictures to remember the event. Little aspects like a tangible instant picture for the attendees was an especially important aspect to planning the prom since we figured it would allow the Casa residents an opportunity to take pictures with each other, or of themselves. Towards the end of the night, the raffle was also proven a success since the attendees had fun winning prizes and entering themselves for the drawing.
