    Default volunteerism

    i'm thinkin' this year instead of "hardcore" folks should volunteer to help the community of Glade Springs, 10 miles from Damascus, that was devastated by tornadoes. real folks need real help. a recreational trail can wait.

    I agree completely. Though I'm too far away and too poor to play much of a personal part.

    Wonder I have a lot of polymer clay type beads and pendants I could send to you to sale as well and have the procceds go to wherever yours go. Send me your address if that sounds ok to you. I will not be there this year.

    I was there for that tornado and there are a lot of people with nothing left. It would be a worthy cause for any donations of time or money.
    Lead, Follow, or get out of the way. I'm goin hikin.
