AYLUS Great Neck Branch volunteers at GNCA Lunar New Year Library Event 2/2/25

The Volunteers gave their time from 1-5 pm to make the Lunar New Year celebration at the Great Neck library possible. The celebration consisted of a show by the GNCA from 2-3 pm in the presentation room and various activities provided by AYLUS downstairs from 1-5 pm. Activities included Chinese knot making, Face painting, Chinese Calligraphy, DIY Snake puppet, and Sugar lollipops. Volunteers Serena Chen and Emma Ding help coordinate ushering the performers between acts. Volunteers at their perspective stations spent time the day before to prep before the event to make sure everything ran smoothly. The Sugar Lollipop station was the most popular by far and was always active, so much so that we had a rotation of Volunteers so they could take needed breaks. Overall the event was a massive success and we hope to repeat and improve on it next year.
