TheMagic inMaturity

A secret I learned many years ago (about 60) has helped me over many obstacles as I traveled the path to maturity. It has brought many warm heartfelt feelings, self satisfaction and love for my fellow person. Winston Churchill became nervous when speaking to large audiences and to overcome his stage fright he would pause for a moment, look at the assembled group and say to himself, "Look at all these people, they are here for me to tell them something they don't know". That is the secret, helping others by sharing your knowledge and physical help,. Many Seniors are looking for the opportunity to volunteer their time. That is what this is all about, and we can start with our fellow Club Members. I am certain that we could all use help in this electronic world of computing. In addition, we can put our varied expertise to use in other fields. We have compiled a list for you to choose from, make your choice and volunteer.
