Follow up

My plan worked for most of the goal I had planned out. Instead of working 10 volunteer hours, I worked for 6. I set up tables and chairs parallel across the room, covered chairs and tables, tied bows to back of chairs, garnished main table with fabric, balloons, garlands, and decorations, and set the tables.

The parts that did not work were blowing up helium balloons, trim with streamers, and create flower wreaths. Those items were done by other volunteers.

In conclusion, I am quite proud of myself for completing 6 hours of volunteer work.
