[QUOTE="Andy, post: 227763, member: 5096"] Thank you! I did a lot of volunteering while growing up. Usually helping with events at church. I have worked serving so often that I would not even cringe if someone asked me to set up a reception for a large event. It would come naturally. While easy child was growing up, I was involved in a community group and she watched me help others. She has volunteered at the local Veterans Home and hospital. One of my favorite volunteer positions was Service Unit Chair for Girl Scouts at which time I directed a 3 day day-camp. That was so much fun. I try to get my kids to help me whenever I can when I volunteer. difficult child has helped me with my Sunday School Superintendent duties. He helps me set up classrooms, take attendance, make copies, whatever I need him to do. Both kids enjoyed working at the local race track for several years before it went out of business. I managed the concession stand and they each had their duties in setting up, running, and cleaning up. The last two years of the races, difficult child even started learning the cash register during the slow times. He was also in charge of the popcorn maker and loved to make the popcorn. I can't thank the owners enough for allowing my kids this opportunity. I just told a friend of mine today that it is so much easier to give than to get. I love to do my part in making life easier for others. Volunteering is important in self-esteem. [/QUOTE]
