On Saturday, January 28th, AYLUS members volunteered at the Ohio Chinese Festival at Dublin Scioto High School. Volunteers were involved in running stands, facilitating backstage comings-and-goings, making balloon animals, running a craft table, running a water stand, and hosting performances on stage. The event was very busy, and volunteers were needed sometimes in several shifts during the day. The event was a huge success, with support from many parts of our community and even media coverage. AYLUS played a great role in making the event possible, and our contributions were highly appreciated by the staff, organizers, performers, and visitors at the event.
