Painting the future Bright
The idea I had for this event is choosing a local charity in Catholic Social Services as I was once a volunteer for several events as a teenager. The event would be painting abandoned houses in the Hazleton area. Members will have the creative freedom to paint freestyle and the most creative house will win a prize from Kiwanis and Catholic Social Services. There isn’t a situation to solve more of an awareness on Kiwanis and CSS and to share what they offer to the community. The event also showcases the talent of the community members and the opportunity to help those in need. It might sound crazy to have an extreme painted house, but there are houses in the area that are in fact painted brightly. The publics in this event would be the Head of Young Professionals and the President of CSS, Neil Oberto (Who is a real person and used to work at CSS before retiring). And the audience is the Hazleton community and local media outlets such as Standard Speaker, SSPTV, and WYLN. The event can also be reached out to the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton media outlets in the Standard Speaker, Citizens Voice, Times Leader, WNEP, WBRE, FOX-56 and SSPTV. The event will attract the media because it’s not every day you paint a house for charity. Normally, it’s building a house or cleaning up a dirty park. The event will also catch the eye of the media because the volunteers can paint houses however they choose.CSS can post flyers on the bulletin board in the entry of the building. Create flyers and PR releases about it. If there is a talented freelance videographer, create a video and post it to social media platforms like YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and TikTok. “Painting your future Bright” on Kiwanis One Day Global day of service benefits children and communities NANTICOKE, Pa - The Kiwanis Club of Young Professionals and Key Club will help Catholic Social Services of Hazleton by hosting “Painting your future Bright” on October 22. The painting event will take place from 9:00am to 6:00pm at 106 S Church Street, Hazleton, where the event begins and will relocate to the sight of the paintings. The activities are part of the Kiwanis One Day, a global day of service that unites the entire Kiwanis family, including Catholic Social Services, Kiwanis, Aktion Club, Circle K, Key Club, Builders Club and K-Kids. On the fourth Saturday of October- this year on October 22- more than 50 of volunteers in Hazleton will join Kiwanians around the world as they all devote a time to hands-on service. Kiwanis International estimates that the annual Kiwanis One Day event will contribute nearly 1 million service hours to communities around the world in just 24 hours. “Kids need Kiwanis, in Hazleton and around the world, and this is our way of making sure members of Catholic Social Services here in our community have what they need to thrive, prosper and grow”, said Diane Smith, Head of Young Professional Club. “The energy, commitment and camaraderie surrounding this single day of the worldwide hands-on service is so gratifying for our members as they make an immediate, measurable impact on our local community”. Diane Smith said Kiwanis One Day also provides an opportunity for community members to join in the fun. “We‘ve found that inviting community members to our service projects is a great way to show who we are and what we do to provide an opportunity for them to join us as a new member,” Said Smith. Kiwanis One Day was designated by Kiwanis International to unite youth and adult members from different parts of the Kiwanis family in service together.
