Lauren's City Year

My year as an AmeriCorps volunteer with City Year New Hampshire

Sunday, January 14, 2007

Friday was quite possibly the most amazing service prep day ever. We had a community meeting in the morning, which I ran. Good times. Then Sara and I collected sticks in the woods at Timberland for the dreamcatchers craft table. I had lunch with Robin, my mentor. In the afternoon we had a short meeting to talk details about the projects that we're running at the MLK day event, and then I didn't really have anything else I needed to do for the day, because all the supplies for my project were ready. So instead I got out the paints and canvases and collected corps members to paint example portraits for my Faces of the Community project.


Pam, Lee, Lacy, and Me :)




Angela working hard on her masterpiece



Sara, deep in artistic thought





Portraits of the Artists :)


My favorite thing about City Year is that I can come in and say "Hey, can we do this project?" and two weeks later, we do. Tomorrow is the big day!!

Such a cool project! I am excited to see how it all looks when the canvases are attached together
