Having lived in the Boothbay region most of my life and been at the forefront of knowing what has transpired as the editor of this newspaper for over three decades, I am still amazed at the amount of volunteerism that goes on to help nonprofits function.
I have experienced the joy that comes with being a volunteer as a former active Rotarian and youth sports coach. Helping others, whether it is through teaching/coaching, raising money for those in need, helping with community projects, or just lending your expertise and experience to an organization s focus, is what s important.
