2011 Calendar of US Service Events

Any moment in any day can be an opportunity to give of yourself, to solve something with others or to just value another person's being. Larger projects require gathering, team work- providing an opportunity to achieve something within a timeline, together with others.

In 2011, give a try at enjoying both the spontaneous and the planned.
Create a calendar diary of your giving and its value to those you helped and how it benefitted you.
