Volunteers of America.

This volunteering stuff is fun business. My friend Dee recently signed up with Volunteers of America. She cracks me up. She was looking for Literacy Volunteers of American, but forgot the Literacy. The Volunteers needed her, and she's an only child who can't say no. So now she does volunteer work there once or twice a week.

Anyway, this week-end was the coat drive for the local charities and she asked me to go with her. It was great fun. Most of the time we sat around (we were at a new mall and people had trouble finding us) but when they came in with their bundles it was really cool. We also got tee-shirts from the radio station, free Starbucks, and this wondrous ice cream from MaggieMoo's down the mall. A good time was had by all.
