Bob/PKB
It's high time I devoted some of my way-too-much free time to doing something worthwhile, so I'm looking into various volunteer opportunities around here.
QUESTION: Do you do any regular volunteer work? If so, for what organization? What got you interested and what do you do to help? If not, is volunteering something that you would consider "down the road" and in what capacity?

BOB, I was a member of Beta Sigma Phi for several years. We did a lot of volunteer work and we held a couple of fundraisers each year. Here is a link if you would like to know more.

I volunteer at my grandsons school a couple of hours a week to help the kids with their reading.

Bob,Yes I do.For multiple sclerosis sufferers when I can.Why? My daughter has MS.We take care of her but there are so many with no-one to help with little things like changing light bulbs.Tuning in TVs is a challenge for some of them.Even having a smoke.

They were driving to work one morning and he suddenly lost his eyesight. The diagnosis took a bit of time, but the doctors were able to treat the blindness appropriately before the damage was irreversible. He is healthy, active, a singer/song writer/guitarist, employed, and one of the nicest young men I have ever met.
You have my respect, Tommyh. You come off like a gruff old sod, but you have a heart of gold! Consider yourself hugged.
You have a heart of gold and your daughter is so lucky to have parents like you and your wife and you even make time for others. God bless you.
Ann.. My daughter is untreatable.She is now quadrapalegic & even unable to talk.It's 18 years since she was diagnosed with MS.Just bad luck she caught a particularly aggressive strain of the disease.

Learning opportunities extend far beyond the classroom. But schools are finding it more and more difficult to bring students to museums, historical sites and cultural organizations. Field trip grants help give children these unique, firsthand learning experiences.

Enjoying what you do AND helping others at the same time is "the bomb"!

If I do volunteers I don't brag about it or I don't tell anyone, I guess that the way I feel about it.
