I have done pro bono computer programming work for some non-profit organizations.

Blood donor. Work for Democrats, try to be around at least once a week now. 4 or more days a week on an online site I help monitor and give suggestions for those suffering depression, as I have been in that situation.

I volunteer on the Unitarian Universalist Trauma Response Ministry, and we help people in congregations dealing with traumatic events like a member’s suicide or a fire, etc. I’m also on my town’s Community Emergency Reponse Team, and do lots of pro bono work in y professional field.

Last April with two other volunteers, we registered 74 students to vote during four Wenatchee High School lunch hours. We will do it again in September and October.

Since 2006 as a volunteer, I have been helping low income, first generation students write essays for college and scholarship applications. One of my best success stories is Brenda, who won $269,445 in scholarships in 2016.

Last May, I won the first Scholarship Rockstar award from the Wenatchee High School College Mentor program. I'm second from the left.

I took three young women I previously mentored on a short hike in Icicile Gorge, WA in June.

In August, 2018, I was featured in an article in the Wenatchee World newspaper. It thrills me to send these kids to college.

Being a college mentor is the most rewarding volunteer work I have ever done. These kids have big dreams.

Students are studying to become- and some already are: civil engineer, psychologist, medical doctor, pediatrician, pathologist, neurosurgeon, nurse, teacher, accountant and more.

New to the area, I’ve volunteered keeping a stretch of road clean, restoring a 200 year old home, providing logistics for an energy conscience do-gooder organization, trail building for another do-gooder group, landscape restoration for another.. And someone who shows up for the Democrats even when there’s no pending election

I volunteer at my sons JH and HS... also at a women’s shelter and immunization clinics. I’m recently getting more involved in politics. I logged more than 600 hours of time at just the Junior High last year.

I volunteer at the county Democratic headquarters. I reached the point where simply complaining about how things are just wasn't enough. Time for action.
