Volunteer

I’ve been keeping the coupon box stocked with the coupons from the Sunday paper. I created a file folder for each week’s coupons for the past six weeks. When I bring in the latest batch on Monday mornings, I remove the oldest folder from the bottom of the pile. Nice and tidy.

I took it upon myself to set up a small box for coupons in our break room at work. I’m going to maintain the box by bringing in each week’s coupons from the Sunday newspaper and then periodically weeding out the expired ones.

This makes me feel good, that I’m providing a way for my coworkers to save a little money.

This isn’t exactly what I had in mind for volunteering, but it’s the best I can do right now.

I’m on the committee to get my coworkers to donate school supplies.

I wish I were a little more excited about this. Maybe because school supplies = end of summer. No! We just started summer. Wahh

This past Monday I volunteered to load boxes to take to the food pantry.

^{They were heavy, but not too bad—this is why I lift weights!}

So I got a little sweaty. Now on to the next volunteer project.

...to do some tasks that no one else would do for the food drive.

For 2008, though, I’d like to be a regular volunteer somewhere. Maybe a reading tutor? Or help with the operations at the charity thrift shop?

For awhile, it seemed like this annual tradition wasn’t going to happen this year. But it has been confirmed.

_{There’s a committee and there’s been a meeting, so that makes it official. Hee}

I’ve enjoyed doing this in the past. I hope to motivate my colleagues again to open up their wallets for the less fortunate.

I’ve volunteered at the office. I’m on the “Giving Committee” again this year. I forgot about how I volunteered for this last year.

I think we’re having a food drive.

I want to volunteer for something else in my community, though, but it may be difficult with the upcoming holiday travel…hmmmm…

I wanted to join the masses in this goal, so there’s nothing specific attached.

I’m getting my creative juices flowing, though, on how I can help.
