 Passion for Volunteer Service/Good Samaritan Ministry: 
Good Sams Volunteer – since 2006
I worked as volunteer and chair of several ministries within the Church.  I requested and was granted a reduced schedule by my company so that I could work at Good Sam's one day per week.  It was a "come and see" experiment.  I found it both rewarding & fulfilling.  It is an opportunity to use God given gifts in the service of those in need. It is also inspiring to work with volunteers who treat people with care and respect regardless of circumstance.
