This past Friday our office took part in our company's community service, offering our time to a local organization that I hold in high esteem Surrey Services for Seniors. Of course I forgot my camera and we did not take any photos, but we helped prepare lunch, took care of some yard work for various clients of Surrey, ferried one lady to a hair appointment, put in some screens for another lady, and made a group of visits bringing home made cookies, plus changed light bulbs and planted a bunch of plants.
It is such a delight to help those within your community and when I organize these events I am always amazed how touched the Realtors are by all these elderly seniors who are striving to remain in their homes as long as they can. You gain so much more than you give. Why not see what lives you can touch locally and take some friends with you.
You are so right. Volunteering is a win-win. And you know, the more you give, the more you get!!
