Can’t leave the office or home to volunteer? No problem. Like almost everything these days, there is also a way to volunteer and help others out from the comfort of your living room couch or office chair. Many organizations need help with administrative tasks that can be completed digitally. If you are a computer whiz and are working at a job where you are supposed to look busy even when you are not, “virtual volunteering” might be the way to offer your expertise or mentor someone while still taking care of work at your desk. Our website lists countless virtual volunteering opportunities—go there to find one that suits your interests. With just a computer or phone, you can lend your talents to anything from advocacy and human rights to education and literacy, even to organizations that are not necessarily close to home. Tasks can range from making phone calls to helping “get out the vote” to designing a nonprofit’s website. Stop by our website and start virtual volunteering today!

At Metro Bank we try to provide banking facilities of highest quality in order to accurately meet our customers’ needs. To do this it is essential that we listen to what our customers have to say. We would like you to help us by giving us your opinion of Metro Bank’s services. We are asking an independent market research company, MIC Limited, to interview a number of customers over the next few weeks. MIC Limited is a reliable company, and your individual responses will be kept completely confidential. They will be conducting the interviews by telephone, so an interviewer may telephone you at some point over the next few weeks. Because MIC Limited will choose who to interview, you might not be contacted at all. If you are, we would value your contribution and hope you will be able to help us if asked.

Dear Friend,

At Christmas time our auditorium is transformed into a dinner club with festive lights, entertainment, a full course turkey dinner, and, of course, Santa Claus. Our patients and their loved ones have the chance to be together to enjoy themselves in a pleasant atmosphere at this time of year when families should be together. This is Cafe Noel, one of the many special holiday events we at Calvary host for our patients and their families. Calvary Hospital plans Cafe Noel at Christmas time every year. But to continue this unique program we need your help! Your holiday gift of $15, $20, $25, or whatever you can afford at this time, will help us to make the holidays a very special time for our patients and their loved ones. Please send your holiday gift today.

Sincerely, Patricia A. Cahill Executive Director

Dear Mayor Johnson,

I have always appreciated the open line of communication you keep with your residents, and your willingness to take action on their concerns. I have noticed something else that could improve our city. Although the zoo has been expanded and the Children’s Museum recently opened up, our city doesn’t have a splash park for children. A splash park would provide kids with a convenient place to get exercise and stay cool in hot summer. And it would be free, benefiting all the families with children. Normally, splash parks are installed in a regular park. I think that the park near the post office would work since it has a lot of room. Your consideration of this proposition would be much appreciated. Thank you for reading my letter. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely, Stellar Baker
