Make A Difference Day

Saturday, October 24th, was Make A Difference Day!  It was Make a Difference day and I was helping the wonderful organizations of HANDS ON NETWORK AND POINTS OF LIGHT by participating in this volunteer day and spreading the project ideas and my commitment to volunteer work throughout the great state of NC!  I worked with Hands On to coordinate a project area, event, and time, and although there were so many great ones to choose from I was so thrilled to be traveling to Research Triangle Park, Chapel Hill area to the SECU Family House and the Ronald McDonald House to help with all kinds of great volunteer projects!  I was joined by the amazing UNC MBA students!  They told me they do projects, like this one, throughout their semester!  They had about 80 MBA students spread throughout the area helping with all kinds of HON projects!  I met so many wonderful people and we cleaned, baked, iced cakes, and worked on stocking pantries!  A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this day very special, and a huge thanks to Leigh for helping make this day happen! A big thank you also to the SECU family house for having us, and the great, hardworking, UNC MBA students who were there all day! Last but not least, a big thank you to Hands On and Points of Light:  These organizations are dedicated to making a difference in this world, one volunteer at a time!  They help actions centers throughout the USA and internationally to inspire people to volunteer as well as help connect them with the right volunteer opportunity.  For more information on all they do or service projects in your area visit www.handsonnetwork.org 

Thanks to all the volunteers who made Make A Difference Day a huge success and who are always teaching others the power they have to make a difference!  Always remember its the small things that make the biggest difference, and we can ALL Volunteer!
