Valentine's Day Spectacular


 






On February 2nd, we had our first annual Valentine's Day Spectacular event in the campus Pub.  This event was set up and run by Residential Life.  At the end of last semester, the RA's were assigned different dates on the weekend where they would have to think of any type of event and go forward with it.  Myself, Shaun, and Alex who are all RA's were chosen for this date and because February is known for Valentine's Day, we decided to do a Valentine's Day event.  We bought various crafts from a website called Oriental Trading.  This website is great for novelties, crafts, party favors, & decorations!  If you need to buy anything of this sort I would recommend buying them from there because they have anything and everything you can think of for holidays and everything in between.  Also, they send you various coupons to use towards your purchases.  We bought heart magnets, love bug pins, and mini candy foam pieces for the valentines.  We also played the move Valentine's Day and the students were able to make Valentines for their friends or loved ones.  I also found an organization Give 2 The Troops which accepts letters.  I thought it would be nice and something different to have the students make valentines for the troops.  A lot more people did valentines than I expected them to and we plan on sending them to this organization so they can send them over to the troops overseas.
