Dia de los Muertos! Whoo!


Today was an awesome day for the TEENs! We had Matt, Hailey, Nick, Sydney, and a bunch of new TEENs that helped out today. The day involved lots and lots of crafts - And kids. We had some cultural music to rock out to and tons of people in masks and costumes. There were kids dressed up in costumes with their faces painted and the day went by smoothly. The altar looked beautiful (Look at the picture above! Taken by Syd. ) and it was a wonderful day all together. Next Saturday is the rafting trip and we hope to see everyone there!

TEENs in Training....& a little work!


October has been a busy month for the TEENS. We've had about 15 new teens join the group which means training, mentoring, and showing them the "ropes". It's great to have more teen volunteers especially with our busy month ahead filled with festivals and other activites. In additon to training the new teens, we've also worked on Lumi bag set up for a Garden wedding and made some really cute pumpkin Lumi jars for the October Festivals. The Desert Vista Key Club helped us with this craft as well and did an outstanding job!
