Community Service Continues

Reaching out to the community is an integral part of Team 1515's ideology, so the team spent some time making cards for children at Cedars-Sinai Hospital the week of February 2nd. A group of team-members drove to the hospital on February 5, 2009 to spread Valentine's Day cheer to children in the pediatric ward. The team received a warm welcome from hospital staff and went on to decorate the play-room in the ward. MorTorq team-members used paints and other art supplies to liven up the room for youngsters just in time for Valentine's Day. They painted on the glass windows and stuck hearts and valentines to the cabinets. A lot of creativity and cooperation resulted in a beautifully decorated play-area. Team-members also visited all the children in the pediatric ward and gave each child their own hand-made valentine. In addition, the team brought along a robot to show the kids, and children were given the opportunity to drive it if they wished. When the visit to Cedars-Sinai was over, the MorTorq team-members left knowing that they had brightened somebody's day.
