Community Service

Dana is writing a speech for her class tomorrow night. (She's finishing her last semester of college. It's "only" taken 10 years...and of course she had 4 kids along the way.) It's a persuasive speech. She's chosen Community Service as her topic.

Here's a few good quotes:

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
-Margaret Mead


“I don’t know what your destiny will be, but the one thing I know; the only ones among you who will really be happy are those who will have sought and found a way to serve.”
-Albert Schweitzer


“Everyone can be great because anyone can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t even have to make your subject and verb agree to serve…You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
