My wife and I do a lot of volunteering, and are somewhat known as ones to call if you need and extra hand.  Judy received a call to help deliver presents to the local assisted care and nursing care homes in our town.  Of course she said YES!  We delivered and met 6 new Friends this morning...Along with the packages we were to deliver, we also had a wrapped gift for each to have on Christmas Eve.  On a few, you could see the anticipation of a child.  Something to look forward to.

This Day cost us less than $10, including gas, but it gave us a lot more back!  Get out there and help someone and bring a smile to them...it will warm your heart!

I've helped with blood donations, habitat for humanity, ms foundation, united way, and others unfortunately the people in charge of organzing events don't call us for other events I always have to call them.  I was homeless and down on my luck and someone helped and I will never forget it.

Our group delivers Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets.  Very time consuming with the planning, shopping, packing, and delivering.  The delivering is the most draining part but the most rewarding part.  When the reciepeint relizes that somebody cares, WOW.  Makes you want to help everyone!  It really makes one appreciate what they have.

Bill, I have heard that you and your wife are not strangers to helping the ones in need.  (Quietly)
