[Community-service] Why did you join?

[Ashley Bramlett]

hi cerena,
wow, you did americorps. I thought of that. What are the qualifications and 
what is the stipend?
That is awesome you  got involved in that. You should write a blog about 
that.

Hi all,

I joined because I think it's valuable to show community members that
blind people can participate in community service.  I hope to become
more involved on this list than I've been in the past.

Darien, is it too late to volunteer to speak at the CS seminar at
convention?  I'd love to tell my Americorps story!

Thanks,
Serena
