so i've worked for TELUS for the past 8 years almost (no, i can't help you with your cell phone plan *sigh*). every year at the end of May they have a campaign called TELUS Day of Service where TELUS team members unite to give their time energy and hearts to bettering the communities in which we live and work.
there are different events that you can sign up for: planting trees, cleaning up litter, working at the Humane Society, sorting food at the Food Bank, etc. i signed up with other members on my team and we decided to participate in the pink ribbon tying activity for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. we'll be making all those little commemorative pink ribbons that they pass out at their events. this is directly related to my ride as that charity is a part of the Alberta Cancer Foundation who it planning the Ride To Conquer Cancer that i'm participating in.
feels good to give back. even if it's for a 2-hour ribbon tying, or a 2-day cycling ride... it's good to give back to your community. not only does it help others... but i believe it's just good for the soul.
this public service announcement was brought to you by the letters Q, F and the number 9. =)
