Do your research and contribute local.

That is very impressive: Our time is often the most important currency...well done.
I used to be much more hands on with the charities in the Southwest I am invested in...I do not sit on any boards but they call often asking for my advice. I wish I could get out there more but I still contribute monetarily.
It took me awhile to find the right group that shared my concerns and ethos but the effort was well worth it.
Great thread AB.
