Saturday I woke up extra early to take a very long MARTA ride into the city to administer surveys to the SEC championship football crowd at the World Congress Center. In addition to being paid, I also received a haught baseball-style Chick-fil-a shirt. Catherine and I pestered patrons about their milkshakes, promising them $5 Chick-fil-a gift cards if they took the time to fill out our surveys. Lots of fun. Perhaps the best part of the morning was interacting with UF fans that aren't insanely rude and mean....
Today I was at the Barnes & Noble at the Forum in Norcross wrapping presents to raise money for Good Mews. It was people interaction weekend apparently. I had fun chatting up the people who came to the table and wrapping a few presents slowly while Glenda and Shannon wrapped presents like it was going out of style. They apparently didn't like doing the whole schpeil about the shelter and the random conversations -- I was happy to oblige with my constant chatter and maven-like support of things I like.
I was happy to do the gift wrapping and I enjoy volunteering at Good Mews, but does anyone else know of a good nonprofit to get involved with? I find myself wishing I was involved with more. A simple google search will provide me with countless options but I want to hear some personal recomendations.
