On July 21st, 2024, members of AYLUS (Alliance of Youth Leaders in the United States) Oakland Gardens Branch had another online color a smile event. This is our 93rd event so far held by AYLUS Oakland Gardens Branch.
Color A Smile is an organization that distributes drawings to people such as senior citizens, people in the military, or anyone else who is in need of a smile! You have to finish coloring one of their pictures first, and then mail it to them so they are able to distribute the pictures.
Some of our members joined a Google Meet, and we all started coloring pictures to send to Color A Smile organization, so that they could send it to ‘anyone in need of a smile’. Our parent advisors had everyone keep their camera on, and point it towards their coloring pages so that they could make sure that they were working.
We held another online event instead of an in – person event. We will continue to do this for the next few events. This is due to the extreme hot weather outside. We still wanted to give back to our community and host events. Therefore, we decided that we would do some virtual events. Our members would give their coloring pages to our parent advisors the next time they go to an in – person event, and we would be able to mail it to Color A Smile.
Our deepest gratitudes to the members who helped out at this event. Even with the weather and our current conditions, they still wanted to help out.
