Giving Back

Have you ever given back to something that is close to your heart? Whether its been a children's charity, health services, education, equal rights or something to help better the environment. How did you feel when you gave back? I am an advocate for pitching in and doing "your" part to make the area you live in a better place. Volunteering is one of the most important and rewarding things in my life. We all live busy lives, but the joy and the gift you get back for doing good is priceless. As we head into the summer months I challenge everyone to do some good in the neighborhood they live in. Whether it is making a monetary donation or taking an hour or two out of your day to help someone else, the reward you get in the end is a great gift of knowing you helped do your part.
