A little charity

A little charity never hurt anyone and as for me, I enjoy giving back. There are always opportunities here and there to give a few hours and beyond the reward of helping someone else in need some times you are rewarded in other ways. This year Grant and I took part in the Give A Day Get A Day program through Disney which gave us free tickets to Disney World. Can't beat that!

So for 2011 there aren't any tickets to be won, but there are families to help. I went to a Women in Local Leadership (WILL) event through the United Way a few weeks back. Beyond the wine, cheese and magician there was a great message on how we can give back to our local community. Of course they played a sappy short film at the end that made the room cry and it did the trick, I was roped in and ready to give.

So now I am anxiously awaiting my training day to be a group leader on child care. No, I'm not going to be babysitting, but I am going to be teaching mothers how to care for their young children. Exciting opportunities to come!
