SHA Homecoming Noonday Acivities

This week I wanted to write about another leadership opportunity I was involved in. I was asked to help get volunteers and run the distribution of food at the SHA Homecoming Noonday activities this past Wednesday. I had a difficult time getting volunteers. I only got three from Human Resources when I was told I would need about 15 to 20. I was able to get a couple of friends to volunteer to help. I kind of made getting everyone volunteer shirts complicated by trying to get them to some of them beforehand and having some for the others there when they got there and now I'm still trying to get all of them back. But I had a ton of fun actually doing it and my team of volunteers actually worked a little too efficiently and we ran out of hot dogs in a third of the time expected. After that we just handed out what we had left: tortilla chips and mustard. It was fun interacting with the people and volunteers and I felt like I was doing something worthwhile. I love the Honor Code so I felt like I was helping to promote that through helping with this activity and I learned a lot about how events function at BYU and the planning and processes that go into them. I am also helping with two other events this semester, the Special Speaker Series with Lloyd Newell in November and I am in charge of decorations for freezefest in December. I am excited to help out with these and I hope I am able to do a good job.
