Anyone want to get together as a group to do some volunteer work. I found some cool things to do that sound like fun but it would be more fun if we could do this as a small group. I saw an event that included a trip for 9 people to kayak into McCovey's cove during a SF Giants baseball game. Kayaks & gear provided. Other opportunities include restoration of naturally sensitive areas. I am also up for other ideas that as a group we can volunteer and have fun with.

that all sounds really nice.

you're awesome one of the best ways to make new friends and giving back to the community is through volunteering. check out habitat for humanity.

Good for you! I totally buy into the Do Unto Others, Karma, lead by example stuff I do volunteer work locally too with our food bank and the Hospice House...

I'm down for that! I have a black thumb so anything gardening based would be a BAD idea if I were involved, unless the goal was to kill all the plants hahahaha I don't get what kayaking during a baseball game would do though... unless we are collecting the balls that make it to the water?

I usually volunteer to teach arts and craft classes during the summer for the parks and rec activities here but they didn't do most of it this year. Are there any child based things you can find? That's always fun... especially working with disabled children.

Yes, I know... I'm a bleeding heart, hush now, the goody2shoes are talking, LOL

It feels so GOOD to be so WRONG! Sometimes...

I wish I lived in the Bay area! I'd love to do some volunteer fun!!

I'll have to settle for volunteering in Phoenix. I teach art to abused children in a shelter. My goal is for them to express their feelings through art and trust again.

Cheers

Before I moved I tutored little kids after school. Now my work schedule won't allow that. I need to find something else. I think a group project for us Bay peeps would be awesome

What if Prince Charming had never shown up? Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? Or would she have eventually woken up, spit out the apple, gotten a job, a health-care package and a baby from her local neighborhood sperm bank?

Ok so it looks like we have a couple of suggestions.

Will, it looks like there are volunteer opportunities with Habitat in Oakland. Anyone interested and willing to throw out a date? I will do the research and report back.



Yes Lilah, the job for the kayakers was to retrieve the baseballs. Again, I will do the research with the Volunteer Center for other stuff that is centered around working with children and report back.


Thanks all, I'm very happy to see other people stepping up!
Blessings

Like I said on the hike today, I'm down with doing some of those activities.
