Life is busy. From Monday to Friday it seems as if we are on the go all the time with little chance to take a rest. By the time we get to the weekend all we want to do is take that break, find something to do to unwind and have a little fun with our friends and family.
For many of us it’s heading out to the movies or to a restaurant for a nice meal. And if it’s with friends then so much the better.
Do Something different
But what about doing something a little different this weekend? Still having fun with friends, but taking time to pour something back into the community, possibly having friends over and tell them to make a “Gold coin” donation to a charity or community program.
Or what about firing up the Barbecue and holding one on a Saturday fundraising for the local kids club or something like that? Just a few ideas of what can be done when we want to.
Hospitals may seem like huge organizations with plenty of money but they could always do with more. Fund-raising for a piece of equipment. Or the volunteer Ambulance getting that life saving machine they’ve been asking about but never had the budget for.
Have fun
Fund-raising can be great fun to do and the events can be great for the whole community (or church) to get behind. They can be a great form of entertainment for all the family as well as giving back to the local community
