On December 10, AYLUS Main Line volunteered at the annual Christmas Festival hosted by the Upper Main Line YMCA beginning from 3:00 P.M. and ending at 7:00 P.M.
Emily and Melissa helped set up the ten game booths for an outside mini-game event and hosted their own game, Snowball Snowman. They hosted around one hundred games in total. Mindy and Lily helped out with the arts and crafts station, instructing visitors on how to make Christmas ornaments. The workshop was open for the entire four hours as families bustled in and out. Overall, about one hundred families attended the Christmas Festival and seventeen services were offered to them. Although it was extremely chilly outside, the volunteers were happy to serve so many excited children that they powered through and later warmed up at the marshmallow pit.
Volunteers (4 hrs): Emily Zou, Melissa Fan, Mindy Wang, Sarah Liu, Lily Jiang.
