Make A Difference Day is right around the corner... this Saturday, October 22 in fact! Do you happen to have your volunteer service planned? If not, there is still time. You can go to www.makeadifferenceday.com just to find out more about the national movement or you can go to http://daytabank.handsonnetwork.org/ to find a project close to you that can use you as a volunteer on Saturday. It's a great feeling to know you are helping others and the best part is that it is contagious -- so go out and spread the contagion!
I'll be participating in the Egyptian Health Department & Fowler-Bonan Foundation Event called Suds & Smiles. The goal is to collect hygiene supplies and cleaning products for children and families who need them. What a great idea! Right now, there are collection bins all over the three counties in Illinois that Egyptian serves and all of those bins will be brought to the Health Department location in Eldorado on Saturday between 8am -12pm. If you want to make a donation of your own, just bring it anytime that morning. WEBQ radio station will be at the event doing a live remote and talking with the volunteers that are helping make a difference. It's going to be a great morning and I am just sure that the collected items are going to surpass the collections last year. It just keeps growing and I am so glad to be a part of it!
