Title: Pay it forward
Post by: NativeDigs on June 06, 2014, 09:24:16 AM
"What would you do" is the opening line of the Beatles' song 'With a little help from my friends' and I was thinking this morning:

I have two tickets to the Paul McCartney concert that I would consider giving away to someone who would do something/ anything/ one thing to help someone else. If you had a chance for two free tickets to this sold out show, what would you do to pay it forward?

Seats are in lower bowl and "sing out a tune" is not a qualifier.

May I nominate Gloria DeVall?

Gloria DeVall organized a work crew of volunteers to paint Mr. Foster's house. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of what she does for others.  Yes, it was a team effort, for sure, but Gloria organized it and got it going.

See the Springfield forum, topic Losing Mr. Foster.  87 year old Korean War vet, code fines of $250 a day possible because of peeling paint.

I'll second Debbie's nomination. I was following that topic and the volunteer work is heart-touching. The coordinator deserves appreciation. Thank you Gloria!
