Community Service Blog #1

So for the first 2 hours I had to do community service hours was for the Barrak Obama campaign office in Reston. We went to the office right after school on wednesday after the senior panorama I wasn't too excited to do this but at least I had Tyler, Maggie, and Carrie who also had to finish their hours :)
Our main job was to hand out these flyers to spread the word about the former First Lady of VA that was going to speak at Herndon Elementary. Seemed easy enough right? Yeah it was pretty easy, we drove around handed a bunch on a few cars in parking lots. It was pretty hard to get it posted especially at places that we didnt find out that was a government building until after asking...Like this one really mad and angry woman at the Herndon Community center...she even called a complaint to the office which was bad, but it was ok since the people were at the office and was like it happens. We ended up getting some flyers up at like Bloom and Starbucks, so it was too bad of a first time going to volunteer! :)
