The real heroes are the people who take three or four hours a week and work with various organizations to make the country a better place to live. The rewards you get for the time you spend far outweigh the personal cost.
Kay Harmsen
Professionals in a variety of fields can come together to give back to
the community, using what we know, what is dear to our hearts, and what
we're good at. Be innovative, you can do something. Create a cause.

Parenting Place
Debbie Crabb
I like coming to Parenting Place
to make friends with people who have things in common. It can be scary
as a new parent. At Parenting Place parents socialize as a family
together.
