One is not born into the world to do everything but to do something.

Today is my day to do that something. Well, the start of my doing something anyway!

 

I'm very excited about today because it is my first day to volunteer at the Plaza District in Oklahoma City.

The Plaza District is a neighborhood commercial district boasting Oklahoma CIty's local arts flavor. Located on NW 16th between Classen and Penn Ave, the Plaza District is home to art galleries, studios, retail shops, restaurants, and creative services. Visit these local businesses owned by young, creative entrepreneurs and attend performances at the renovated Plaza Theatre for Lyric at the Plaza. Be sure to check out the artist-made retail businesses, a quality custom tattoo shop, a local salon favorite, and many shops for vintage and retro finds. This district, once blighted by urban decay now boasts a renewed energy embraced by Oklahoma City's youth and diverse culture. Each Second Friday of the month from 7-11pm, enjoy LIVE on the Plaza, a monthly artwalk featuring live music, featured artists, special events and local shopping.We hope you will join us soon and please take a moment to learn more about us, our businesses and events!

 I'm going to help with office work and organizing, which is right up my alley! Then Wednesday I have a committee meeting for planning the Plaza District Festival. This is something that I have been meaning to do for quite some time now and I finally feel like I'm comfortable with my school workload to take on another responsibility, especially one as rewarding as this! I love the Plaza District and I am so grateful that I get to be a part of it's future!
Hope you all have a great monday!
