[Community-service] Why did you join?

[Tara Chavez]

Hi all,
I joined because i love the aspect of community service and I love
serving. I don't post much but I am here in the shadows. i don't know
if convention will happen this year, but I hope to attend again and
see the group in person. My local chapter does some community service,
but I'd like to see it grow and be more of a year-round thing not just
a 'holiday' thing.
