Ruby T. – 2.20.10 Women’s Heart Disease 4th Visit

For my 4th visit, we left school at about 12:00 p.m. We took a camp to the Waldorf Astorian Hotel on 49th Street. When our cab pulled up to the hotel we were amazed on how nice it was! It was beautiful. We then got escorted to the front door and then to gentlemen opened the gold handled doors for us. The ceilings were about 30 feet high and a big chandelier hung in the middle of the lobby. We struggled to find the elevator of the ginormous building but we managed. The hard part was finding the room we were supposed to go to once we got to our floor. we walked up and down the gorgeous hallway and finally came to the room. We were welcomed by a mid twenties look women and she taught us what we were supposed to do. First we had to open literally 1,000 bags (gift bag size), then we had to open 32 boxes of skin care products, then we had to make an assembly line of about 20-30 people (other people also were there) and take 3-4 bags at a time going down the line. We were packing these gift bags for an event the organization was hosting the next day and we were invited but it was canceled because of the snow. We were packing the bags for about 2-3 hours. We didn’t really learn anything about what this organization really did but I know I was helping someone and that’s always a nice feeling.
