A Day to Make a Difference

Saturday, Oct. 28, is national Make a Difference Day, when people commit to volunteer in their community.  They help out at a charity, join a clean-up crew at a park, form a group to do buildings and grounds maintenance around the church, or get together with others to repair and paint the home of a person who is physically or financially unable to take on the task.  Others work on a less visible, more personal level by devoting the day to visiting people at a nursing home, taking a lonely aunt to dinner, hanging out with that teen who needs an adult ear to listen to him, or building a habitat in their back yard to nurture the wildlife which shares that yard.  It really doesn’t matter what a person does, because all of these activities make a difference in the lives around him.  What will you do?
