Beauty in Volunteering

Making a Difference

“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in”. ~Author Unknown

A Magic Trick

Try This Challenge!

Stand next to a wall with one side of your body touching it. Place your ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, and head against the wall. Now try to lift your other foot off the ground without moving away from the wall.

Here's the trick: You can't lift your outside foot unless you move your head and shoulder away from the wall. So the secret is not really magic, but science! By moving your head and shoulder, you redistribute your weight and the force of gravity then allows you to lift the outside foot.
