Postby matador1 » Tue Sep 29, 2009 6:42 pm

pick something that you can be passionate about.... possibly something that has effected someone in your family.

Church missions is a good place to start. Support a ministry.

If you ever visit St Jude Hospital, you WILL give money to them... that place will rip your heart out....
Sometimes you just have to close your eyes, count to ten, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you wouldn't look good in prison stripes... and just smile at that dumbass and walk away.

I have been in Kiwanis for over 12 years. Our focus is children, we do lots to help them, and support them in school and we do just good stuff for the community.

Sounds like you are trying to do stuff to build a buisness asking about this and networking groups. Not only are civic groups fun they also get you and your name out in front of everyone while working for a great cause.

Rotary. I've been involved in several different communities and they all do a great deal for their community.

Used to be in Lions Club. We did a lot with vision and eyeglasses. I was sight chairman and treasurer for a few years and every year I'd set a bunch of kids up with eye exams and glasses whose parents couldn't do it.
