If the recent weather has accomplished anything (other than making think that maybe we'd moved to Portland, Oregon, and forgotten about it), it's reminded us that summer won't last forever.

Indeed - soon fall will mosey in, and we'll all "ooh" and "aah" at the leaves, and then about 6 minutes later winter will move in and we'll forget what grass even looks like.

So why not do some good, ol' fashioned, get-your-hands-dirty volunteer work before the weather destroys your enthusiasm? This coming Saturday, August 25, East Metro Women's Council (of White Bear Lake) is looking for volunteers to help them spruce up their apartments for families in transition. Put on your work clothes and make a difference for East Metro families who are trying to get back on their feet! Click here for more information.
