Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 4: Neighborhood Cancer Drive
Amidst the busyness of the A.M, I realized today was the day to send in the results of the Neighborhood Drive for The American Cancer Society. (I volunteered to address and send solicitation letters to the neighborhood on behalf of the ACS...perhaps not a very popular job; but certainly an important one). They gave me a financial "goal" to try to obtain, which isn't easy as not too many respond--(5 out of 15). With the last generous return I received, it brought me $46.00 over the goal, so I was very excited and happy to mail my return knowing my effort was going to help the cause---helping others. http://www.cancer.org/
