"You must give time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others -- something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it."
---Albert Schweitzer
Tonight I had the privilege of chaperoning at the high school dance. I've had two kids go through that school but they never wanted me to be present during the dance. My 17 year-old, however, was one of the organizers and she was happy to have me volunteer.
I got to see the kids all dressed up, way better dressed than I ever was in high school, and to see the administrators and security folks working hard and keeping the environment safe and fun. I got to watch the kids in their element, mingling and dancing in the gym with cool lighting and decorations along with blaring music. And I got to hang out and chat with a few of my friends who I hadn't seen in a while and who were also volunteering. All in all not a bad way to spend a Saturday night!
