My Experience At The Weigel Center / Senior Center

My experience in the Weigel Center/Senior center was superb, I enjoyed helping the senior citizens very much. I thought it was a great learning experience for the future if I wanted to to that again or help anyone with anything. Doing this gave me more skills for volunteering in the future. I also enjoyed the people there, they were very kind not what I expected I thought they would all be grumpy and want to eat there hearts out but I was wrong really wrong they were all kind and there were even a few that spoke Spanish just like me. The type of work I did at the Weigel Center/Senior center was arrangement of the condiments for the food that would be given that day I was given 9 plastic squares to put a few of each condiment inside. After that I placed most of the serving mats on the tables as another women helped by also doing so. I also would start serving them food more like a waiter in a restaurant. If a new person came in the the front door I would greet them as they sat down. I would tell them the options for a drink consisting of water,fruit punch,pink lemonade and coffee the place where the drinks were wasn t that far away so I could come back immediately so after I gave them some time to speak with the other quests of the other people they arrived with I would come over and ask them if they wanted any refills and if they were ready to choose what they wanted to eat. We didn t have any menu s we could distribute among them but we had a big chalk board
