People volunteer for many reasons, sometimes it is to make connections, or to give back, or to learn new skills, or sometimes its just to meet new people.
I volunteer because I'm selfish.
I give my time, talents and treasures because I want better, a better community and a better neighbor.
I'm concerned with my own welfare and just as a rising tide lifts all boats, lending a hammer or an hand leads to a better community.
Its not always easy to volunteer, all too often its hard work. This is one thing we're trying to change with the Spirit of Service event on March 5.
Tonight, I'm walking the walk, I'm pitching in at Friday Night Suppers. I'll let you know how it goes.
About the picture: Built in 1897 on Boston Common, the Robert Gould Shaw Memorial depicts Colonel Shaw on horseback leading the Massachusetts 54th Regiment, the first all-volunteer black regiment in the Union army organized in a Northern state.
