On August 22(last night), Chris and I helped with the Taste of Stones River event at The Avenue for the Primary Care and Hope Clinic - http://www.hopeclnc.org/. We were there selling tickets for about 5 hours and they raised over $20,000 - WAHOO!!! This event could not and would not happen without people taking on the task of volunteering their time and service. The whole event was volunteer driven - even started and led by volunteers. It is always great to know that you spent your time helping those that can't help themselves.
I feel that giving back to the community is so important and something I will stress to my children. It is when you give of yourselves that you feel the reward the most. I love that we both like to volunteer and it is a great thing for us to do together. I encourage you and your family to do what you can for others so that they can see the importance of giving back at a young age.
God first, others second, I am last.
