October 15, 2010. Homecoming Carnival. 3 hours.
For this event I helped set up for the carnival itself, and helped run the booth for honors society. Our booth was dedicated to throwing pies at various faculty members as well as a few Sumner High students. I helped to create the pies and handle the tickets. It was really fun to greet new people and be a part of the Sumner community. I learned how to adequately run a carnival event (which I had never done) and that the simple, small community of Sumner is really close-knit. Towards the end of the carnival, I was able to pie a few people guiltlessly for my own pleasure which also made the occasion memorable. I also stayed after the carnival to help clean up [because very few members stayed to help], so I missed the beginning portion of the homecoming football game.

October 28, 2010. Walk around conferences. 2.5 hours.
The "Open House" or walk around conferences were delightful! I got a chance to stroll around with a food cart while wearing fancy attire and trying to nourish the starving teachers. Who wouldn't want to partake in that? Not to mention I was able to hold some stimulating conversations with a few parents and staff members that I normally would not have had the opportunity to do so with. I discovered that I may enjoy feeding the homeless at some point over the next two years, because I really take pleasure in mingling with new people and making sure that they are cared for appropriately. I had swim practice practically right before conferences, so I had to rush home quickly and change like a mad man, but I made it! Overall I enjoyed feeding the array of famished adults even if I did wreak of chlorine.
