3rd Friday Halloween Happenings

We made lots of new friends at 3rd Friday. 
The Delmar MiM Club wanted to start participating in the 3rd Friday event to get the word out about youth volunteerism. One of the things MiM prides itself on is the ability to find or create volunteer opportunities that are fun, but also give youth the opportunity to begin developing skills they can use in their everyday lives. 

Organizing is a particularly difficult skill to acquire, because it isn't always easy to find a cause or event to organize around. That said, learning to coordinate your peers and to lead them to act is an important skill the students try and develop. Salisbury's 3rd Friday is an opportunity for the students to accomplish both. Since it is a monthly event, there always is something to coordinate.
