60 million Americans volunteered last year, according to a new study. Another interesting fact: People who volunteer watch 15 less hours of TV a week than people who don't.

A growing trend: young people tying their weddings to a cause.

Finally, I'm sad to read that The Bridge @ Studeo 315 may have to cut back in their services due to funding cut by the township. They have been doing great work meeting the growing needs of the community. Give online right now to help them through this challenge.
