Other Volunteer Organizations

[Angus]

Knowing that we all do  many other things besides CAP I thought it might interesting to see what other things we do outside of CAP.

I'll start off.

I'm also in the Knights of Columbus, 2 CERT Teams, and I'm starting to volunteer with the Red Cross.

There is time to do other stuff other than CAP?

Besides being the Chaplain for the Hospital that I work for, I am also the Director of Volunteers.  If some of you are looking for additional volunteer experience hospitals are great places and the work you do will be very much appreciated.

I know from experience, that CAP members tend to be VERY busy people, but even if you can spare one or two hours a week it would be appreciated at your local hospital.

^^^ That was me in High School.

In college, the Freshman mandatory *We love everybody!* class had an assignment to check out DePaul clubs and see what we can be interested in. When it came time for me to say my piece, I said none.

I got this weird look from the Sophomore who was leading it, and half the class. I asked them when they want me to participate in a club in-between full time work and full time classes. The sophomore just said "okay then" and moved on. Then again, he is a music major, so his opinion of how the world works isn't worth it's weight in [poop].

Outside of CAP?  What is this strange place you speak of?

Seriously, I am a lifetime member of AMVETS, but I don't that much with them.

From time to time, I do help with discrete projects, like clean-up day at the C&O Canal.

I just do CAP now but before I moved to NV I did 20 years of volley EMS with 2 different companies and paid with a third plus full time job and active in EAA.

Now I have two jobs and CAP plus a non active member of an EAA chapter. Hey I'm getting older ...

Roger that.  Thanks for the info.  I plan on talking to people from both groups as I get closer to graduating.
