Who benefits more?

As I've observed you wonderful Youth Council kids serving in our community I've seen character grow. Just last Wednesday when we visited the elderly at the Retirement Home, I saw you practice good communication (as we practiced in our meeting before) reaching out, and really listening to what these wonderful people have to say! Sometimes, ok- most of the time you have to really try hard to ask them questions and get them talking. You have to really show interest, and care about them. Just yesterday, on the news they said that kids in todays world who play excessive, T.V. and video games find it difficult to stay focused in a conversation because it is boring compared to the high energy games and world around them. By serving and reaching out to the Elderly we become compassionate as we realize we all live facing the same fears, anxiousness at times, but also joys, and peacefulness we contribute to the world around us. And so it is, living and reaching out making this world a better place, and thus having more peace and contentment in our own lives!

Hey kids, some fun activities await us this month. Yikes we're already in almost two weeks, but at our next meeting we'll frost cookies for the Elderly at the Retirement Home. We'll also plan out and assign responsibilities to assist the PTA at Lakeside for the Book night on March 3rd. Thanks also to all the help and support you wonderful Youth Council kids and parents are to the program!
