VASJ G.E.M. Team volunteers at Our Lady of the Lake Parish Picnic

On Sunday, September 21, six members of the Girl Empowerment Meeting team (G.E.M.) generously volunteered their time to assist with Our Lady of the Lake’s annual parish picnic. The G.E.M. club provides young women at VASJ with opportunities to be empowered, give back to their community, and participate in activities that strengthen their leadership skills.

Our young ladies supported the picnic by serving food during lunch and assisting at the children’s stations. They helped run games, painted faces, and spread joy throughout the afternoon. A wonderful time was had by all!

We extend our gratitude to Chelsea, Mariah, Sidney, Aliyah, Tianna and Mya for their service. A special thank you also goes to Fr. Joe Fortuna and the OLL Parish Picnic Committee for welcoming us and allowing G.E.M. to be part of such a meaningful community event.

VASJ G.E.M. volunteers enjoyed sharing their face painting skills with picnic attendees.
