Doing Good (Volunteering)

“Doing good does us good.” 
― Arthur P. Ciaramicoli

I had a YouTube video linked her that I did for the School Tutoring Program but it has since been removed from YouTube.

Volunteering may be the most powerful thing most of us do in almost all places and societies. The subpages are about some of my more recent volunteering, most recent at the top. Not sure how far back I will go like PTA, Scouts, and hundreds of church volunteer activities. It was all fun and hopefully helpful to someone!

“Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.”

– Sherry Anderson

To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.
