Wow it is chilly outside today!!! I am glad that we are supposed to get a warm up next week, even if it is only for a few days. Okay, enough about the weather, lets get down to business! :0) We have quite a few new volunteer opportunities this week, please check them out below. I hope that you can find something that interests you. If you would like more information on any of the opportunities, contact me at samantha@uw.lafayette.in.us.
Volunteering fun fact:
According to Mayo Clinic, people who volunteer have lower rates of heart disease and live longer.
