On April 12, I did more service at Congregation Beth Shalom with Anne. Anne, who is the youth director, was running an end of the year program for the younger age group. She was understaffed so I volunteered to help her run her program. That night she was running a 3 hour game night and BBQ for 3-6th graders. Specifically, while Anne ran the program I was in charge of making food. I got to fire up the grill and make about 3 dozen hamburgers and hot dogs (on a lousy grill).
After I finished cooking for the kids I got to take over on watching the game. I was then in charge of making sure nobody was cheating or got hurt. Everyone had a lot of fun and this service was a lot like my first one. Much like the service I did earlier in the year with the young kids at Beth Shalom, much of what I was doing was helping shape the community and providing them with a comfortable environment. I was playing a major role as one of the social influences in their lives.
