Volunteering - the Healthy Habit

Norwalk is a growing community and your involvement in the community is important because

* helping others is satisfying

* conveys knowledge

* affords stress relief, we all need

* stimulates your mind

* keeps you young at heart

* gives you a purpose, a focus

* the civil thing to do

* social, intentioned

* identifies you as a role model

* creates a sense of well being

* keeps you physically active

* anchors you in the community

* brings satisfaction to others

* opens up dialogue with others

* gives of your experience

* provides camaraderie

* allows others to learn from others

* keeps you mentally active

* utilizes skills, talents

* good for all ages

* allows you to serve your community

* emotionally stimulating

To that end the City of Norwalk is always looking for volunteers, and it is a need for churches, schools, clubs, and it affects recreation, youth activities, participation, and builds on personal beliefs, values and time management.

Keep this in mind, now is a time that while we are all busy, while we are all trying to provide for house, job and success that a few hours a week, a month may be what the doctor ordered.
