Happy Funtime Friend Service

And that’s the tagline for Happy Funtime Friend Service that my illustrious (and now academically pedigreed) co-author came up with.  When my parents were in town last weekend, it happened to coincide with Servathon DC and we joined a project that involved cleaning the World War I Memorial and the grounds between it and the World War II memorial.  It was a beautiful day and it was great to get out and do something with other people and for the area that I enjoy so much.

And then today I got an email from DC Cares reminding me that there are plenty of groups in the area that need help all year round.  Helpfully enough, they’ve compiled a list of such organizations.  And particularly if you’re the sort of person that has trouble meeting new people, what better to meet like-minded folks than involved in supporting an organization you believe in?  I’m telling you, it’s how I met most of the people I consider my closest friends (illustrious co-author included).

So, take a look at the list, find a worthy cause (and worthy is worthy to you and of your time and energy), and get out and do something.  You’ll feel better and you might make a new friend or two.
