Day 212 ~ Memorial Day Fund Drive

Ambulance volunteers

Every year on Memorial Day weekend, the town next to ours, solicits funds for their Volunteer Ambulance corp with a "coin toss." I usually toss them something. Here is a picture of them "winding down.

Support your local volunteers.

See you tomorrow

Day 47 ~ Doing Volunteer Work

My friend, Ken, works at Ocean's Harbor House as a facility manager. He was supposed to get "volunteer workers" from the Department of Corrections but they bailed out on him because they were tied up with Hurricane Sandy Clean up so he went down from 8 workers to just himself.  He sent me an emergency text to help him fill up a dumpster with leaves.  Well, why not? It's not like I have a job to go to!

blowers are easier than raking!

A blurry shot, I know!

It felt good to be working again. I do like the feeling of accomplishment of doing something plus that tired feeling where you feel like you earned your night's sleep.

If you ever want to help out at Harbor House, they are always looking for volunteers or even cash donations.

Check out their website for more info. http://www.oceansharborhouse.org/  Hopefully, I can help Ken again soon,

See you tomorrow!
