On Saturday, November 22, the 10th Grade Guys LIFE Group partnered with the United Way and Hands on Birmingham to serve at the Glenwood Autism Center in Birmingham. The Glenwood Autism Center treats and supports children, adolescents, and adults who are emotionally disturbed, mentally ill, and those diagnosed with autism. The guys were put in charge of painting "chalkboards" with animal characters for the families who reside in the Glenwood facility. A magical blue paint was applied by our "Blue Man Group" consisting of Alan, Collin, and Cameron; when the blue paint dries it becomes a surface that can be used as a chalkboard. We were encouraged to "be creative" with the animal color schemes-perhaps that was taken too far with a red and green zebra, powder blue bull, a red bear, and the retro "grape ape" (kids, check out youtube for this classic cartoon). There was of course an Auburn Tiger and an Alabama Elephant too--hopefully those end up in the correct homes.
The artists formerly know as the 10th Grade LIFE Group were Alan, Cameron, Drake, Jordan, Collin, and Gregg.
