Friendship Bracelets with Seniors

Emely G., Public Relations Officer of the Palm Desert High School Chapter, shares about her chapter's bracelet making event at their local senior home.

At our chapter’s event on January 13, we were able to not only give makeovers to our elderly friends, but also make friendship bracelets with them! It was truly such a beautiful day because of how we bonded with everyone. I was able to make several bracelets for the seniors. I also painted their nails and did their makeup! The elders were willing to make bracelets with us and they got the hang of it in no time. They quickly became experts! :) It touched my heart seeing how much they valued and appreciated our bracelets and the time we spent with them. It was an amazing experience for the volunteers as well as our friends in the Carlotta. I am so excited for our next meeting. I know that more and more people will come to make bracelets once they see just how fashionable the bracelets made by their neighbors were.
