Introduction

Hi I'm Valerie My website is under development, coming soon www.ChoicesFundraising.com. Donate to the charity of your choice, earn chances to win items. I am also a volunteer with Canine Companions for Independence. www.cci.org

Have you ever volunteered before? In what way? (Tutoring, Kids, Humanitarian, Cleanup, Nature, Animals) Still doing so?

I just started a company to help charities. My website is under development...coming soon ChoicesFundraising.com. When you donate to the charity of your choice, I reward you with chances to win items. Prizes will vary but the first few will be quilts that I make. I help train service dogs & have a home business doing the best-ever fundraisers!

What do a peron's day-to-day actions REALLY say about them? What do the words MORAL FIBER mean to you? Tell us what you think...

Moral fiber is doing the right thing without even thinking about it. Day to day actions say everything! People who don't give just have not found that place in their lives. I know because I did not always volunteer. I'm more complete now that I do.

Are you new to Chicago? Might you need or can you help carpool? As a fun community of members, transport to non-city events never ends up a problem!

I am not new to Chicagoland. I'm in Lake County so carpooling might be a great idea.

Occasionally outside groups contact us looking for help. Is there a specific type (animals, kids, etc) of volunteering you would like us to keep you mind for in these situations?

My husband and I are experienced with dogs, me as a volunteer him as an AKC Obedience Judge. I have years of sewing and quilting experience.

Where did you hear about our group? A Current Member (who)? Meetup link/email? Flier? Speech? Facebook? Other? (Specific answers will help us & the number we reach out to *GROW* :)

Just saw you on Meet Up.
