Have you Volunteered Lately?

I just read a story that in the toughest of times, Americans are volunteering at a record rate.  Hearing this makes me very proud to be an American.  There is something in us that wants to help those less fortunate or just to pitch in and make our community a better place to live in.  I myself give a lot of time to the Boy Scouts and community service projects.  Virginia State Parks has a great volunteer program and if you wish, you can work in some of the most beautiful places in the State. 

Although most volunteers don't do it for rewards, the park system does have great benefits that range from parking passes to a weeks stay in one of their lovely cabins.  So now that the weather is getting nice, why don't you think about getting out of the house and going down to your nearest State Park and become a volunteer.  Go ahead make a difference, it will feel GOOD!
