MSUBillings coffee cup winner with her team!
As the winter season started settling in with a fairly chilly morning, and fans of the Cat and Griz began to bundle up for the game, we started the day off with National Family Volunteer Day. We partnered with MSUBillings in providing a scavenger hunt for the residents at St. John’s Lutheran Retirement Home. YVC members and their families began the project with coloring and cutting out the turkeys and leaves that would be used later for the hunt. As the leaves and turkeys were strategically placed, the families began to get paired with residents to start their hunt as a team.

The teams went on their way with a roaring start, we had confusion, competition, and just all around happiness through the hunt. When all of the teams returned, the team leader for MSUBillings counted up how many turkeys and leaves each team received and little did the teams know that they would be awarded with prizes. The resident of St. John’s, with the winning number of 8, received a MSUBillings coffee cup and the runner-up received a MSUBillings water cup. The families that participated received a tin with The Incredibles on it and some even had a DVD inside. We had an awesome turnout with this project and the opportunity for families to give their time to a local retirement home together and to see the residents with their faces lit up with smiles, will never be forgotten.
