I recently became aware of a phenomenon on the internet called tagging. You answer specific questions about yourself, then name two people you want to answer the same questions. Think how much more powerful tagging could be if used towards volunteerism?
The Idea: Tag two of your friends to do something specific that will impact someone they don't know. Send an email to all of your friends, name the two people you'd like to tag and the task(s) they should do.
The Cost: A moment of your time, and an email.
The Benefit: You can touch the lives of more people by encouraging your friends to tag others as well.
I'm tagging:
Rashida, to use her crocheting talent to make a scarf/hat for a homeless person for the winter.
Erica, to bake a batch of brownies (if I remember, you make good ones) and bring it to the precinct down the block as a thank you for keeping your neighborhood safe.
This one's a bonus: My line sisters, to come up with a volunteer initiative we can all do together for our 10th anniversary.

How many times are u gonna tag me...I'm volunteering for the Citi/Robeson event!!!!!..lol..just kidding..u know I don't mind working on a scarf/hat...If I have time I'll do a few pieces..oh how u've inspired me!
I'm glad I actually read this one! he he j/k...I don't like cops but I see your point...I'll think about it! :)BTW- I bake jerk salmon and grands biscuits but i'll try the brownies...
@Rashida: I tag you because I know you'll always do it, and tag more people in the process. You're my little PR person. :)
@Erica: So you don't like cops; try firefighters (even though they rejected me for the FDNY...see the power of forgiveness?). And the food item is unimportant, it's the thought and effort that counts.
ok, so I tagged Esquared (Tdot) and Mandy in Japan - both were happy to take the challenge..I also sent it out to many many people, former teachers included - in fact my old high school english teacher said she was going to introduce it to her classes...she thinks its great!...gooooooo Deb! good job!
