Today is delegate service day, and all delegates were encouraged to sign up for one service project within the city of Denver. I signed up for a project to build a new playground for Force Elementary school. I was worried that with so many people signed up that it would just be a photo opp, and not real work, but they actually did an excellent job of organizing the effort and making sure that we all had real work to do. With so many people there the playground went up very quickly and was done, landscaping and all, in about an hour and a half. The kids came out for a little bit to watch and say thank you in unison.
I think that delegate service day was a convention first. I hope they keep it for next time, as it was an excellent opportunity to give back a little bit to the community that is hosting us, and was a very pleasant break from sitting and listening to speeches all day.
