Selecting the Champion

The semi-finalists closed their eyes and the audience voted by applause for the “Hardest Working Volunteer.” Jennifer McDaid received most of the applause and was thus elected. Immediately after winning she was surprised with a blindfold being placed over her eyes.

The Final Exam

After Jennifer’s blindfold was in place she was told that she won the election to take the final exam. For her final exam she was to name as many people as she could in the front of the room and explain what they did. She missed herself and Ron.Come, Participate,
