We had the weekend off. For a break from youth rallies and youth events I spent Saturday as a volunteer at the a local youth event.
I spent the day putting up signs, dashing to the store for supplies, handing out granola bars, and giving directions to groups as they moved from one station to the next (as well as many other tasks).
It was lots of fun (I enjoy behind the scenes as much as stage) and much more tiring than the normal work we do.
At one point one of the adults who was chaperoning a youth group asked me if I was part of APeX. She then explained that she was now 25 and a regularly work with the youth at her parish and that she remembers seeing us in High School.
Most people whom I have told this story to have responded with, “Doesn’t that make you feel old?”
That thought couldn’t have been further from my mind. My first thought was, “Wow! Someone remembered us.”
