Once again, I’m puttin’ on my walking shoes for a worthy cause! On Saturday May 2, 2009, I’ll be in College Park, MD at the University of Maryland – College Park. Joining with the other folks who will be walking the 1 or 2-mile courses, we’ll be participating in one of the many nation-wide NAMIWalks that are taking place this year. The goal is to raise about $8 million in 2009 for the NAMI [National Alliance on Mental Illness] organization and the mental health services it offers to thousands of individuals and families throughout the country. Check out my web site and find out what we’re walking for.

NAMIWalks 2009 – for the Mind of America

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009Have you ever wanted to combine work with something you really like to do? Some folks manage that easily, some struggle and others come upon it later in life. I fall into the latter category. I’m a free-lance writer for Examiner.com. The best way I can describe Examiner.com is that it’s a really BIG e-newspaper. Because the organization involves a lot of writers [Examiners], Examiner.com is an e-newspaper that goes far beyond what most newspapers cover in a daily paper. For example, have you ever heard of a Baby Boomer Examiner or a D.C. Technology Examiner? A Cleveland Sports Examiner or a SF Travel Tips Examiner? Writers from all over the country cover something that interests them. As you’ve already seen at this blog, I’m a very active volunteer in my community. Ta Da! I’m Examiner.com’s Laurel [Maryland] Community Volunteer Examiner! I found a way to not only write about the various volunteer opportunities that exist in Laurel, MD, but hopefully, I can encourage more people to become involved in helping their friends, neighbors, and other members of their community. If you’re in the neighborhood and you want to volunteer, check out my web site!
