Don't Just Stand There, Do Something! 01/05/2012
Yeah, I know I'm an idiot, but sometimes I try to do something good. I recently went down to Columbus, Ohio to see if I could work with some great people that run a non-profit agency called Community Shares. They're basically a marketing arm for sixty-five Columbus-area organizations that depend on donations to fulfill their various missions. The organizations being helped by Community Shares are very cool, and include animal welfare, civic involvement, civil action, promotion of individual achievement, fostering the arts, environmental protection, fightng hunger... you get the picture. I guess the reason I'm psyched about this is I really like the idea of helping the local community. If you're someone like me that's usually watching from the sidelines because you don't know how to get involved, then today's your day because if I can do it, you can too. Just pick an organization you like, any organization, and give them a call to see if there's something you can do. It will change your life, or someone else's that might really need your help. Oh, and if you're interested in finding an organization to donate to, feel free to check out Community Shares at: http://www.communityshares.net/ Enjoy the day:) CommentsLeave a Reply | AuthorTJ Vargo writes thrillers.
