<div class="">I think talking about the parrallels between community service is
good. Remember a good question to ask when you are checking out places to
volunteer is, do volunteers have an opportunity for employment. or this could
have been what Hindly just said. It is a question that I have for
organizations that come to speak at our local chapter meetings. Small
piece of information being that it is volunteer month, Catholic Charities said
they do in our area. They are nation wide and work as seperate intities
but colaborate together and have a national headquarters.
