President of my Lions Club, Executive Board Member of the largest Food Bank in my area, and Volunteer at a summer Lunch Camp where I read to the kids and play Legos with them afterwards

Volunteering is its own reward!

I am an Explorer with Explorer Post 1218. It is a volunteer organization through the Frederick County Sheriff's Office. Throughout the year between meetings we constantly are volunteering our man power to help out different local organizations with pretty much anything they request. Usually we are assisting the Kiawanas org. when they do things such as fishing derbys for children, we wrap gifts at the mall during holiday season, we do traffic details for RedCross motorcycle rallies.... and a bunch of other fun law enforcement related stuff

Let's see.....

Umpire for the local Little league, I used to coach. Next week I'm running the kitchen for a local school carnival. I help out with some local groups that beautify the community. I do a lot of fundraiser events. For some reason, I'm always asked to do food for local events. Trying to get my kids more interested in volunteering.

I get more out of it than the kids do, Mark, the looks on their faces when you take them on "field trips" makes the time worth it times 100.
