Quick bit

What a busy day! PtW 5th Annual Golf Outing today &it's my fourth year volunteering at it. Getting a day to spend with co-workers, clients & being a part of such a great event always makes me feel so good. In working with PtW I've seen the organization grow so much & hope to continue to see it grow even larger in the future!

Volunteering is something I hold dear to my heart, I love being able to give back. My joy for volunteering started back in High School when I became a member of Key Club & by Senior year I was Vice President. Doing little things like baking cookies for Samaritan Inn or making little stuffed bears for a Children's Hospital. No matter what projects we had organized it always brought joy to my heart knowing no matter how small the act, I could possibly bring a smile to someones face & make their day. It's the most rewarding feeling to me. I live to help others.

After I graduated I made a promise to at least volunteer once a year (with college, studies & work I wasn't sure how much time I would actually have). I painted apartments for Samaritan Inn, donate my old clothes every year to my Grandma's church, & would find little thing to keep me active in volunteering.

I had a great opportunity come along when I received my internship from PtW. I knew right away this was an organization I wanted to be involved with & spread the word about. & almost four years later, I'm still delighted to be apart of it.
