Block Party

Hey everyone!

The UC Riverside Block Party was about a week ago. We set up a booth and sold root beer floats and recruited more members. We made some money and I hung out with Johnny most of the time. It was a good time. Johnny sure knows how to work a crowd. He helped us out a lot with recruiting. We split up and handed out flyers to everyone passing by. Johnny would give his entire stack of flyers away in what seemed like just a few seconds. He's fearless when it comes to talking to people. He sure likes the ladies, too. We walked around a bit while we had a break from the booth. Johnny and I ran into a lot of familiar faces. We eventually found an interactive booth where he was given the opportunity to throw a pie at a girl's face for only a $1.50. Johnny seemed to savor every moment of this pie throwing activity. Poor girl... haha!

Overall the Block Party was a success. Anna, our former College Buddy Director, came to help us out as well. It was good to see her again.

Special thanks to all the officers who came to help - Aimee, Drew, Karisma, Marisol, Janette, and Kieu!
Best Buddies Members Chris Tran and Heather Sipin helped out a ton as well. Thanks to them!

And of course, a big thanks to Johnny for helping us recruit and helping me to carry all the stuff back to my car from the Block Party. It was quite a job!
