I volunteered at the Hershey Track & Field Games. What an amazing experience! The event was well-run and staffed with great people. I do not think I saw Mr. Terrence sit down once! The kids had an awesome time and the day went by so fast - I was sad when the event ended. I will definitely volunteer again.
