You can search by zip code or put "virtual" and get things you can do at your computer.

It's a boost to self-esteem, too - wonderful how our natural talents can help others.

This Newsletter mentions Boston, but I haven't read it yet.

I did some community service (for a speeding ticket I couldn't afford to pay) at a Scout camp and it was so satisfying I plan to continue doing it.

I see there's a lot of opportunities available in the Seattle area where I'm moving to soon. That's another motivation to get there
