Is May a month for Maybe I will or Maybe I won't? As in, "Maybe I will finally get involved in helping others?" You may just like it, too. And not only do you contribute your skills and experience, but you are likely to gain much in return for giving so much of yourself to help others in the community. It may just be the start of a trend in your life.
