Aids Walk-Part 1

Today our Service Learning group attended the Atlanta Aids Walk to help our organization, Positive Impact. After finding our way to Piedmont Park we fought through the crowds of people to find the booth area that Positive Impact had among all the other benefitting organizations. When we arrived the Positive Impact members were running behind on setting up the booth. We were quickly drafted into helping the last parts of setting up the booth. We spread out tablecloths and set up posters. From there on we sat in the booth as people circulated through and picked up fliers. We also handed out bottles of water to people preparing to head out on the Aids walk. Before many of the Positive Impact members left to go on the walk, we took several pictures with the whole of the present organization and volunteers. Then most of the people involved in the organization set off on the walk while we stayed behind to man the booth. Once the walk had started and the area had started to empty we began taking down parts of the booth to make it easier for Positive Impact to break down and go home after the walk. We took down the posters and tablecloths and have them to give back when we return on Tuesday.
