Got a little extra time over over Spring Break? VOLUNTEER!!

What are you doing over Spring Break?  

Along with sleeping in and catching up on projects, why not take a few hours to volunteer here in Chicago?

There are many organizations around Chicago always looking for volunteers.  Chicago Cares is an excellent network of charity organizations around the city, and their online calendar makes it easy to find a local volunteer project.
