To Do or Not To Do
Visit and participate in a MOM or two or more before
you take this on…
– I learned a lot and had fun while doing so…
– I gave of my time and talents and felt what it was like to
volunteer
– I felt much more prepared having seen/done an actual
project
– QUESTION: WILL YOU DO THIS AGAIN
– Why or why not…
