On November 8, 2026, four volunteers from AYLUS San Clemente participated in the OCCCS Thanksgiving Community Event at the Lake Forest Civic Center in Lake Forest, California. The event brought community members together to celebrate Thanksgiving through food and activities. Volunteers helped with guest check-in, raffle ticket distribution, food service, and other tasks throughout the event.
The volunteers arrived around 9:40 AM and met with the event manager at 9:50 AM to receive their assignments. Shuqi Hu and Ryan Zamani were assigned to the check-in station, where they welcomed guests and assisted with registration. Meanwhile, Miah Zhou and Tylon Zhou helped distribute raffle tickets to attendees. Everyone worked together to make sure guests were checked in and ready to enjoy the event.
Once check-in was completed, the volunteers took a short break before moving on to their next responsibilities. The four volunteers worked together in two pairs to help distribute food during the event. They made sure food was delivered and distributed efficiently while helping vendors and organizers keep everything running smoothly. Afterward, the volunteers also helped pass out water to attendees.
After completing their responsibilities, the volunteers were also treated to food as a thank-you for their efforts. The event was a great opportunity for AYLUS San Clemente members to give back to the local community while working together and gaining valuable volunteer experience. Their teamwork and dedication helped contribute to a welcoming and successful Thanksgiving celebration.
Great work, volunteers!
