Ingrid and I are both very interested in volunteering
as a way to stretch our spirits. Ingrid recently "retired" from the Southern
Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault (SACASA). She has been a crisis
intervention counselor, backup supervisor, and member and of the Board
of Directors (including being Secretary and Board President) and I try and help where ever I can.
We have recently both volunteered with Literacy Volunteers of Tucson. Check out their web site at http://www.lovetoread.org/ as tutors and volunteers are always needed. Thinking about making a charitable contribution? Think Literacy Volunteers (or SACASA, or Heifer International or... O heck, just give!)
I spent seven years working with Arizona Special Olympics as a coach, referee, and member/Secretary of the Board of Directors.
For many years I've been working
with several state technology organizations such as AzTEA,
but I find I prefer working with an organization where you have direct
contact with the people you are trying to help. Ingrid and I both believe very deeply in service to our
community. We encourage you to find a volunteer opportunity as well.
