Day 5: Find Opportunities to Volunteer

TGIF!! Today's task is really important.....Find Opportunities to Volunteer.

I've already signed up for mine! I'm traveling to La Grange, TX on Saturday, April 12th to help Continental Airlines serve lunch and dinner to the riders in the BP MS150 during their pit stops. Doug and I are trying to find somewhere to stay the night so we can also serve breakfast Sunday morning before the riders start their last leg of the ride. The BP MS150 is a HUGE event, so I'm sure they need a lot more volunteers to help things run smoothly. And you don't necessarily have to go to La Grange....it starts in Houston Saturday morning, the riders stay the night in La Grange, and finish in Austin on Sunday. So, you have 3 different locations to choose from to volunteer. But, you don't have to volunteer at the BP MS150 there are plenty of other opportunities throughout the year!

Here's a link to the National MS Society's website to check out other opportunities to volunteer. Here's the Lone Star Chapter which is based out of Houston:

Here's the link to the NMSS main page in case you're not in the Houston area you can check out where your local chapter is located and what volunteer opportunities are available near you:

Let me know what you guys plan to do. If you find something you want to do to volunteer and have no one join you, let me know and I'll be there!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Expect 2 more posts from me with Saturday and Sunday's tasks, it's the last two!!

"There aren't enough days in the weekend." ....isn't that the truth!!! :)
