(excerpt) Are you singing those holiday blues?
Its that time of year again. Once Halloween passes we head straight into the holiday season on the fast track. The pace of our lives seems dizzying. As if our everyday lives are not already moving too fast as we frantically rush around attending towork, children, household chores, family and relatives. Oh,did I mention the laundry? Once Thanksgiving day approaches we know for sure that what we feared has truly materialized. Its Holiday Time and are we having fun yet!

(excerpt) Broward Volunteers Get Connected
It's eight o'clock on Monday morning. A crisis is brewing,warranting an emergency phone confernce with two board members. Thus, a new day begins for Dale Hirsch, Executive Director of Volunteer Broward.

Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Volunteer Broward connects community-service minded people with available volunteer opportunities....

A pretty, vivacious woman, Hirsch doesn't mince words, speaking quickly and emphatically. And, she's passionate about helping people help others. As she puts it:
"I want you to walk away saying not only was your volunteer experience fabulous, but that you can't wait to do it again!"
