First Friday!

We went to our very first First Friday for CIS Arizona & AmeriCorps VISTA. It was amazing.

The people there were friendly. We had a balloon monkey given to us. Teachers & parents wanted to know who we (CIS) was. Students wanted to get involved with AmeriCorps. People wanted to know about our volunteer opportunities.

The best part was when FOX news strolled by and interviewed Lloyd Hopkins, one of the directors for the state office of CIS. He was talking about National Service and what the VISTAs (Jenn, Diana, Chris, & Caly) were doing.

We had a hippo bank that broke. He was taking donations for a table for next first Friday. He was equally successful.

First Friday is fun!
