Wow – thanks for mentioning our affiliates – Hands On Atlanta, New York Cares & Chicago Cares! I noticed on Twitter that you’re coming to NCVS in NY in June! That’s great! Are you going to live blog any of it?

Would you be interested in writing a guest post for the national blog abut why you’re excited about the conference?

Best,
Jessica

Hey KB,

We (Xkwizit Productions) sponsor monthly Bid Whist Tournaments/Game Nights and donate a portion of the proceeds to (preferably) local charities on the south side of Chicago and in the southern suburbs. Our latest was for the Chicago Southside Autism Support Group. We’re looking for local charities or local chapters of larger charities we can partner with to raise funds. If you have any suggestions, we’d really appreciate your help/comments/input.

Thanks for all you’re doing.

I feel you. I’m totally guilty of such, but not anymore! A new day.

Haha…”Plain ol’ bumminess”

But, I hear you! College was my volunteer hiatus (other than some special events), so I know the feeling. If it’s what people are really looking to do, then they’ll come around to it.

P.S. I like the title of volunteer motivator

Yeah like I was saying last night, it’s hard getting started with volunteering not because from a lack of resources or opportunities but from the lack of initiative to go out there and actually put in time. I know that’s the main reason I haven’t volunteered. No excuse. Just plain ol’ bumminess. But it always bugs me that I don’t so I need to get on my Ps and Qs.

I don’t consider you the volunteer police, but the volunteer motivator
