May 9

I've always wanted to do but have never had the time and I'm still checking things off. I would suggest making a list and checking out volunteer opportunities in your area or your town. In addition to other things, I've been a Selectman, Library Trustee and Planning Board member for the last 15 years and I know that most towns are desperate for people to get involved. All of this has kept me moving and kept my mind sharp.
