#21B SERVICE TO OTHERS this web page is no longer maintained click here for newer version 4.0 I value and admire those who wish to serve others, either out of a sense of civic duty, a desire to give something back to the community, or simply because they care about people suffering and struggling and want to help. While not all of us can run for public office, work for a non profit community service organization, or volunteer to help the sick, deprived, uneducated, etc--we can show our support for dedicated public servants and groups that do. At times I have felt good about giving my own time and energy or charitable contribution to aid such efforts.
