I received an e-mail last week, out of the blue, from a young woman named Michal. She has created a blog called Volunteer Experiences. She wanted to interview me about my work with Guide Dogs for the Blind. We spoke on the phone the next day and this article is the result!
That girl does her homework! She had read other things I wrote, did some fact checking, and sent the post to me for final corrections. Impressive!
If you know of an interesting volunteer (maybe even you?), please pass that info on to Michal at her blog. She’s always looking for inspiring stories.
There’s just something about volunteerism that is inspiring.
By the way, I’m going to be signing books at the Dogs on the Square Event in Sonoma, California (home of Williams-Sonoma). This Thursday, 4:30 to 7:30 pm, a small part of a larger benefit for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Stop by and say hello if you’re in the area!
Suzanne, thank you for sharing the link!
And to all who read this – yes, I'd love to hear about your volunteer projects or the volunteering of those you know! I'm always looking for new article topics.
