Have You Ever Tried to Multi-task Your Volunteerism?
Recently, I wrote a post called How do you Decide Where to Volunteer? There are so many worthy causes and I was overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of you who wrote lengthy comments to share your volunteerism. It made me proud to be associated to you by profession and ActiveRain.

Everyone who lives in The Woodlands should thank George Mitchell. He is the mastermind behind this master-planned community. The Woodlands was born on the back of a napkin on evening when George Mitchell sketched his idea of an ideal community. And, ideal it is.
George, the child of a poor Greek immigrant, grew up in Galveston and studied at Texas A&M. He made the bulk of his fortune in petroleum with is company Mitchell Energy, but he has said that of all the things he has done in his life, The Woodlands is his the accomplishment that gives him the most pride.
