What You Can Accomplish in One Day

Eric and I love to volunteer with Chicago Cares - a nonprofit in the city that organizes groups of volunteers - young and old - to go out and make a difference in our city.  This past weekend, we lead a group of youth volunteers to spruce up a retirement home on the north side of Chicago.  Eric's group was in charge of painting the downstairs walls from a boring white to a fun upbeat blue (no photos, sorry).  And my group was in charge of painting a mural for their kitchen.  It turned out GREAT!  Amazing what can be done in just one morning with a group of volunteers.  Go out there and give back.  You won't regret it!
