It is better to give than to receive

You can really enrich your life and your community by giving.  You can, of course, give money but we don't have so much of that.  But you can also give of your time.  And frankly that can be more rewarding.  I have a friend who volunteers with a literacy group.  Another friend volunteers at a hospice.  I volunteer with the Taste of Vail every year.  It is a food and wine event where all the proceeds are given to a local charity.  I have so much fun with that I forget I'm also doing something good for my community.  There are lots of ways to volunteer that will tap into your interests.  Check your local Habitat for Humanity, Library, Hospital, Museum,School, Town and Highway clean up and any other charities.  They are always looking for another hand.
