Happy Friday! We're back again this week with another array of opportunities from around our region. Perhaps there's something that might interest you!
Our community is a very busy one. We have a whole host of volunteer opportunities, as well as some requests for donations of items that various groups are collecting. I'd like to do my part in reminding people that giving back isn't always about money - though there is certainly opportunity for that as well - and it's not always a life-long commitment of hours - sometimes, it is saving bottles, or soup can labels for a fundraiser, perhaps repurposing still usefull items to an organization that needs it, or even donating un-used craft supplies to an area program or project. So many initiatives that most aren't even aware of are out there just waiting for you to answer their call.

I remember getting the "Stand up and be counted" speech as early as 10 years old. I would hear that phrase over and again for years to come. Dad was a big advocate of escalating an issue until there was nowhere left to escalate it. He wasn't a fan of not getting his own way.
