kamataca Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I'm a cub scout leader---my boys are now Webelos, and I've been with them since Tiger Cubs. I really love working with the boys, but I wish more of the dads would step up and lead--I think between their female teachers and moms these boys need more time with the guys. I do love being with them, though. I also volunteer at church as a reader and a VBS teacher. I would like to volunteer as a surfing instructor, but living in OK and not ever having surfed myself---put that on the 'long-term goals' list.

Larry Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have'nt volunteered for any thing for a few year's but i did volunteer to help out in the amateur boxing club here and ended up doing it alone for most of twenty year's. I did have a very fine friend and lover of boxing help me out financially for many of those year's as without his help we would not have had a place to train. He passed away last spring and was a good Christian to boot his name was Pedro Falcon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Before John's diagnosis I was on the board of a local hospice and also secretary of our lake association. I dropped both positions because I couldn't put in the time any longer. I volunteer for LUNGevity on the Boston walk and also here as a moderator.

J.C. Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Before my husband, Mike died we did volunteer work in the small town where we were living, after we moved to a big town for his treatments we stopped the volunteer work, but since he died I resumed that volunteer work and it keeps me busy and happy. Volunteer work for people with cancer after all I'm living with two cancers and doing well. The health system in Quebec is not the best because you have to dig to find help, so I have a big shovel and make and fill holes. Volunteer work with poor people that don't know how to get out of poverty because they are scared of life and drecting them to the right agencies that can help them for food clothes and furniture and showing them how to make a budget that will hold. Volunteer work for Rotary Club in a library, all books at 3 for $2,00, that is fun and I get plenty of reading for myself and the sick people I look after. Helping caretakers to get a few hours away from sickness. The hospital where Mike was treated asked me to do volunteer work and now it is my fourth year with them.
