This Saturday is “Make a Difference Day.” From their website at http://www.usaweekend.com/diffday/index.html:
Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others — a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Everyone can participate. Created by USA WEEKEND Magazine, Make A Difference Day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October. Millions have participated. In 2008, 3 million people cared enough about their communities to volunteer on that day, accomplishing thousands of projects in hundreds of towns.
This is a really great project that helps bring people together and gets us all to do good things. I’d love to hear about some of the things you plan to do to make a difference… Leave a comment below and let everyone know what you will be doing. It doesn’t have to be only this Saturday. I think the main point is to make a difference everyday!

I see every day as a day to give back to people. I am here today because of many mentors in my life. I truly want to make a difference at work and at home. I see investing in people as a way of paying it forward, because people invested in me. I have realized that if I really want to make a difference in this world I need to first begin by drawing a circle around myself and working first on every thing in the circle. A change in one part changes the whole. We can make a difference!
