Yesterday I volunteered at the local skateboard park and helped fix some ramps and make sure that everything is safe for the kids and people who come and play there. I love volunteering and being involved some way with the community and our children because they are our future. Here is a snipet from the local newspaper, the Daily Triplicate in Crescent City, CA about it (link: http://www.triplicate.com/news/story.cfm?story_no=9193) :
Making a safe place to skate

Thavisak ‘Lucky' Syphanthong puts new bolts in a skate ramp at the Crescent City skate park on Wednesday.
He and other volunteers from the Stuck in Crescent City Skateboard Association replaced the bolts on all the ramps at the park because many were starting to become loose, which presented a safety hazard.
The SICC group has worked closely with the county on the skate park. The county provided the bolts.
On Saturday, the SICC group is hosting a Go Skate Day, which is occurring at locations throughout the world. The event will feature a picnic, music, and of course, skateboarding. It occurs from noon to 3 p.m. at the skate park.
Also, the SICC will be looking for two new members to join their skate team and will be watching those who skate.
