Donations!
 i recently found myself donating and  become active in the community.  if it wasn't an activity or a hands-on event i could participate in, then i was giving charities a few bucks. it makes me feel good that a little bit of help goes a looooong way!. 
- Turkey Trot. thanksgiving morning 2009 co-workers and I participated in a walk to feed the homeless on Thanksgiving Day.
-Lung Walk. ever since 2007 my sisters and i have participated in a 3mile walk to raise awareness and research for Asthma
-Bowl for Kids Sake. co-workers and I yet again bowled to raise money for the Big Brothers-Big Sister foundation.
-Clean Water Crisis. i donated and sponsored a foot on the Climb of Mt Kilimanjaro.. check out the FOOT I SPONSORED   
- Haiti. Damn near everybody did this one. $10 through my cell phone company.
-Cookies for Cancer. we bake and sell cookies outside our store (me and co-workers again)
