Do you volunteer?

In your community, I mean.

Girl Scouts.

I am currently in the role of cookie mom. I, so far will have over 70 cases of cookies in my house on the 22nd. And this total is excluding 5 girls who haven't turned in their form yet. And I know one of the girls sold 130 boxes her first night out.

I work in the gift nook (gift shop) of the hospital a couple of times a month. I love it. :D

Just my mind.... to science.

Doesn't this remind you of that "Friends" episode where Ross had to sell bluebird girl cookies and lost the most cookies sold award to a girl whose older sister put on her uniform and sold the cookies on a naval carrier?

Yes, I used to, but now, there aren't any decent volunteer programs in my area.

[kimchicowboy]

I volunteer at my daughter's school several times a month.

In high school I volunteered at the First Aid Squad in my town.....
That was pretty enjoyable...

now?
mmmmm, nope.

Working is hard enough:hmm:

i used to volunteer quite a bit in HS/college, but my schedule is too erratic now to really effectively volunteer for much of anything.

[GraingerGuy]

volunteer at the elementry school and high school near my college giving voice lessons and taking over choir and/or band when the teacher is sick. :) It's a lot of fun!

I'm in tech support. I don't have time to volunteer, when friends, family, and strangers off the street constantly bugging me with their computer problems.

Yep. Volunteered at UCLA hospital when I was an undergrad. there. Now, I'm part of this program (CMS-CARES) that goes to elementary schools and tells them about the bad effects of illicit drugs.

i used to (tutoring, science clubs for kids, environmental education at the nature center), and probably will again. but right now i don't have time to pee. literally. "omg my bladder HURTS" just never quite makes it to #1 on the mental priority list, sometimes for hours at a time.

:stupid: I am in QA but I end up in the same boat.
I give blood. But I don't have time for community stuff any more.
