I am soo excited. This year aoii held its first annual strike out arthritis event. It was so fun. It was the first year, so not as many people showed up as we expected. I was on the committee. My job was to organize all the food for roughly 600 people! I went through Apple Bee’s and got pulled pork, coleslaw, and baked beans for a pretty good price. But then I got plates, plasticware, and rolls thrown in! I really liked doing that job. We sold tickets. One ticket got a plate of food then you could buy another plate for $5. Then we also had some concessions that you could buy like oreos, cookies, gushers, the good stuff. You wouldn’t expect anything less from AOII!
But it wasn’t just about the food. It was a kickball game between all the sororities and fraternities. They even lasted two hours, but I didn’t get to see much because I was in the kitchen most of the time taking care of the food! Overall the event went really well! All the money we make we are donating to the research center in Memphis to help stop arthritis. It always feels really good to put on a philanthropic event and being successful at it. We had lots of helpers and people who were very interested. We did end up with about half our food left over, so the AOII’s will be eating BBQ for like a month. Good news though, we also had a lot of snacks left over! Any way, that’s all for now!
See ya!
