Civic Duty

2/3 of 2007 accounted for...how are you doing on your 2007 New Year's Resolutions? I'll spare you the details of my list, but so far I'm doing alright. The whole working out at a gym thing isn't working out too well. But when does it ever?

One resolution I had hoped to act upon and shamefully have not is to give back to the community. For this post, I wanted to get a sense of what kind of organizations and projects were out there for potential volunteers. For all the civic-minded folks out there, consider this your electronic soapbox, a chance to brag a little bit about what you do, why you do it, and how others can get involved. Be sure to post some links and contact information. These opportunities don't have to be APA-specific. I look forward to hearing your responses.

Only made two resolutions but only one has been achieved:I got myself down from 22% body fat to 11% and I gained 40 pounds of raw muscle mass for a frame of 5'7" and 165 pounds.The other was to find myself a nice Asian girl to date and settle down with. That hasn't worked out well at all.

hey, what a great opportunity! thanks!i'm working for a great org called women's initiative for self employment. we train low-income women to run their own businesses, helping break them out of the cycle of poverty.graduates of our training course then enter a support program, with mentoring and coaching and frequent seminars.if you have any business expertise you can volunteer just two hours per quarter to mentor some of our clients. if you're interested in volunteering, just click the link (on my name) and click "connector program" to mentor, or "volunteering" to see how else you can help.
