Weekly Update

So far in the MyLife project we have done multiple different things. We researched and wrote our own proposal to get a skate park in Laton. As a group we wrote and presented the idea for the park. We also began a group as well as an individual blog where we track our progress and ideas. So far I have wrote about how I want to save the Laton Lions Hall. The Lions Hall has been a part of our community for many, many years. It just won't be the same without its traditions.  We were also given a book to read which helps us find our passions to begin our own personal projects. We were also told to write about our passions at the moment to also get a better understanding of what we want to do. I have a general idea on my project. Like I said above, I want to help the Lions Hall. They have so many amazing celebrations that , not only Laton but many other towns, look forward to attending every year. We can't just let it close we need to come together as a community and help save and restore is.
