Working at Go Red For Women

*Notice how many bags there were in the background. People in photo, from left to right: College student, Parker, Ruby T, Me

On February 25, Cheyenne, Parker, Ruby T, and I all went to the Waldorf Astoria. At first, there was some complications, about me and Ruby coming, because we had a basketball game, and we only knew we were going two hours before it started, so we both had to get people to drop off clothing. Anyways, at noon we left school to go to the Waldorf, we went by cab, split it fours ways, like always. Once we arrived, we went to upstairs, using the specified elevator in the instructions. When we got to the floor, we spent about five minutes searching for the right room, we then finally found someone who worked there, and kindly brought us there.
When we got to the room, we were greeted by Amanda Mercep, we put our coats down, and were given directions. We were told to:

  1. Take a bag
  2. Nautica post-its
  3. Put in a Dr. Copeland Skin Care product
  4. Estée Lauder Vibrating Mascara
  5. Estée Lauder Lipstick
  6. Go Red Stress Ball (in the shape of a heart)
  7. A heart shaped chocolate
  8. Go Red USB drive
  9. Go Red pen
  10. Go Red pin
  11. Go Red informational packet

But, first, we had to unfold the bags, there was 1,000. Cheyenne and Parker unfolded the bags, while Ruby and I stacked them. I am assuming this took about 45 minutes or so, because there was also 6 or more college students helping. Anyways, once all the bags were unfolded, we started packing them, after about 30 minutes or so, Parker, Cheyenne, and I started packing the bags with post-its, so as the line moved along, people could skip a step. We continued doing this until Ruby and I had to leave for a basketball tournament.
Before we left, we were allowed to make a gift bag for ourselves, and take one for our mothers if we wanted to. Even though we did not learn much about women’s heart disease, it was nice to help, and the gift bag wasn’t too bad either.
Lastly, we were invited to the event that they were doing the next day, but since it was a snow day, but sadly, no one could make it.
