What a terrific thread! Glad it was bumped!

My Mom was the best influence on me as far as "giving back"....I've been a volunteer of some sort since I was 15....starting in a nursing home as a Red Cross Volunteer...then here at Breckenridge Hospital.....

In college, I read to elementary children in the library. And on and on.......

Currently, I'm a volunteer for Dell Children's Hospital and Out Youth. Also, I run errands for Safe Place.

One thing I love to do is throw my bi~annual parties and have a cause......so my guests bring things (their "entrance fee") to donate.....one year it was for Toys For Tots, Safe Place, the Austin Food Pantry (which serves women who are dealing with HIV/AIDS), Blue Santa, etc. It makes a party worth throwing, to be sure!

Volunteering is a marvelous way to give of Yourself. It just feels good and good is done!
