What was one of the funniest things that happened to you
as a volunteer?

It had to be when Giorgio and Paolo, two
mentally handicapped young men stood up in the middle of a huge youth group lip
sync show finale, in front of at least a thousand people, and started dancing.
It was that song from Sister Act that goes, “I will follow him…. Follow him
wherever he may go….” Well, it starts out slow and then turns into a rock
and roll song.When the tempo
turned fast, Paolo and Giorgio ran out to the middle of the gymnasium floor and
started weaving in and out of the high school lip sync-ers doing Baryshnikov
moves and their funny go-go type dancing. I was mortified, because they were
messing up the lip sync-ers, but it was absolutely hilarious! I loved their
freedom to express themselves and dance. They heard the music and it moved them
right to center stage. I wonder how it would be if we were all like that!

This is not all that funny, but I totaled two of the community
vehicles.
