REALLY Make a Difference

There are lots of things people can do to make a difference in your community.
  • Run for office and fix potholes.
  • Donate Money to Good Causes.
  • Give out Free Viagra to the over-60 crowd (but you'd have to move to Chile)
But perhaps the most noble thing you can do is to donate your time and parts of yourself to help tomorrow.

This Thursday, May 1, Big Brothers and Big Sister of Orange County will be hosting an event in Newport Beach to get more exposure for it's group.

From the Daily Pilot article:

"The event will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Newport Sports Museum, 100 Newport Center Drive, Suite 100. Free appetizers and drinks will be served."

I've been a Big Brother for many years now and it has changed my life.

And I would hope that my Little Brother (although he's not so little anymore) could say the same thing.

Because of our experience, we will be lifelong friends.

If you have an extra 4-16 hours a month to give, then give your experience/mentoring/time to help someone who isn't as fortunate as yourself.

It'll change your life too.
