CM c o mm u nit y m A T T E R S Make Time to
Volunteer
T
oday, more than ever before, we have many nonprofit organizations, programs and community events that require volunteers to make the magic happen. Now that the holidays are coming to a close, it is important to remember that many people and organizations still need volunteers to help the local community, especially in winter time. Locally, there is an abundance of opportunities for everyone and it can be overwhelming to find the right fit for your needs. How do you choose which groups you should volunteer with? If you’re not sure where or how you want to help, ask yourself some basic questions.
Volunteers promoting volunteerism at the fall Arts Walk in downtown Olympia. What issues or causes are important to me? To enjoy the experience of volunteering, it is important to have a passion for what you are doing. If you find the issues or causes that are important to you, you will have a stronger commitment and enjoy applying your effort to that cause. For example, your passion might be feeding the hungry, improving the environment, saving an animal, helping educate our children or promoting human rights. All are worthy causes that need volunteers. 4
“I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something I can do.� - Helen Keller How can I make the greatest impact? Would a cash donation or volunteering my time do the most good? Many times organizations have the resources, but not enough volunteers to distribute those resources. In other cases, cash donations could make the difference regarding families going hungry. If you are short on time, a cash donation will help the volunteers and organizations provide the services to promote the cause that you are passionate about. But, if you do have the time, by all means make the effort to participate. Even a couple of hours a week can make a big difference in the lives of others. Where would I like to make an impact? Volunteering locally is a great place to begin. You can help your community and see the impact. If your cause or issues are global and you have the time to travel to far-off lands, by all means go for it. To find local volunteer opportunities, reach out to your neighborhood or local community organizations. Would a larger or smaller organization make better use of my support? Consider the skills you have to offer in a volunteer position. It might make a difference in the type of organization that you decide to work with. Also ask yourself if you prefer large organizations with committees and officers or would you prefer a smaller organization that provides a grassroots approach to local causes. How much time do I have to commit to volunteering? In the busy world that we live in, time is in short supply. Be realistic about your time commitment. There is nothing worse than being over extended with commitments. Start by volunteering just a few hours a month. See how that works and expand from there. If you find that you are enjoying the activity and have more time to devote to the organization, you can always extend your hours. Always be realistic and commit to what you are comfortable with. It is much easier to add additional hours. TCG

believe in dreams. This summer, when I saw a YouTube video of regular folks doing a choreographed dance in the middle of a European train station, I had what I thought at first, was just going to be a dream. What if we put on a flash mob dance in Olympia, in support of volunteerism for the arts? But, on October 2nd my dream became reality, when fifty volunteers took over an intersection at the Olympia Arts walk to dance for volunteerism – to Abba’s, “Take A Chance On Me.” This was planned spontaneity and the first ever flash mob dance in Olympia. The dancers were volunteers. They were not professionals; they were all ages, they were men and women, and were from very diverse backgrounds. They did it because they were painters, film lovers,
January 2010
sculptors, line dancers, and more. They did it because they wanted to make a statement that no matter what our areas economic woes, the arts are crucial: they gather the community for education, enlightenment, and for fun. The arts are vital to a healthy community. Personally, what struck me the most was that our dance made people happy. I realized I hadn’t seen so many folks laughing and so excited about things in a long time. I think we’ve all been so focused on today’s problems and finding solutions that we’ve forgotten for a second to enjoy what’s good. There are a lot of good people here …. from Arts Walk to authors, and from pet parades to free concerts. All of these things take a whole lot of volunteers to dream up, organize, and plan, just to give the rest of us an hour or two of pure enjoyment. So join in as a participant, as a spectator or as a supporter for the arts and help create the good in our community. TCG

Resolut ions or Goals? By Michele McGehee
A
What is Right for You?
re you one of those people who love to make New Year’s resolutions, but do not stick with them long enough to meet your expectations? There is a different way of viewing New Year’s resolutions. Instead of resolutions, consider developing goals. What is the difference between resolutions and goals? Resolutions are created to make a change in the immediate future, often lifestyle changes such as stop smoking, lose weight, exercise regularly or donate more time to the community. These are all great resolutions, but very few of us actually achieve them. You feel disappointed and often discouraged, hoping that next year will bring new success. Goals, on the other hand, are a process for visualizing your ideal future and then motivating yourself to turn that vision into reality. Goals help you choose and create your story: what you want in life and where you want to go. They are typically long-term visions rather than the immediate future. For example, you might want to set a goal to visit the Grand Canyon. Of course, you would like to go tomorrow, but to plan a trip in the future (as goal) allows you to anticipate and schedule that vacation of your dreams. Previous commitments may not allow you to go until the following year, but it remains a goal and is still valid next year. Each year, I list 10 goals that I want to achieve. Sometimes they are as simple as walking more often. Other goals are a bit more visionary, such as purchasing a vacation cabin. I do not necessarily look at the list until 3 to 6 months down the road. One year, I was extremely busy and I did not revisit my goals until I was considering my next
January 2010
year’s goals. What I found is that I had met 7 out of 10 goals for the year without even trying! But the key was that I was able to check off my successes rather than focus on the failures. It was empowering and though I didn’t make the 100%, I transferred the remaining three goals on my list for the upcoming year. I have done this for 11 years now and kept all of my lists. It is great fun to look back at those lists and realize that though they might have taken more than one year to achieve, I have attained over 75% of my goals. What will I do with the remaining 25%? Well, they are still on my list of goals and I know that one day I will either reach my goal or replace it with a better one.
Suggestions on Creating Goals • Make sure you are creating a goal that you are excited about. • One goal cannot contradict any of your other goals. • Develop goals so you are balanced in the six areas of your life: family, financial, career, spiritual, health, social/community. • Write your goal in the positive instead of the negative. • Write your goal in complete detail. • By all means, make sure your goal is high enough but not unobtainable. • If you so desire, create a vision board to support your goal. • Check your goals periodically, but do not stress over them.

he sound of water falling, the tranquility of a forest, the serenity of a mountain retreat. Sounds expensive and untouchable in today’s busy world. Tucked away in Lakewood, there is a unique spa that brings together the healing techniques of Korean and Western society. Catering to women only, it is a wonderful place to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect with mind, body and spirit. Built in 1997 by Mr. Lee, the facility reflects the traditional Korean spa services. After great success, in 2005 Mr. Lee expanded to Lynwood, providing women in the north sound the same unique services. “You get addicted to the velvety Mr. Lee built soft way your skin will feel for the facility for weeks after.

There are five pools that are different temperatures, ranging from 60 to 102 degrees. You can jump from pool to pool to stimulate the body. In addition to the baths, they have a pool of mugwort herbal tea that can be poured over your body to improve circulation and soften your skin.

Conversation is light, providing a quiet atmosphere to wash away the stress of the day. If you enjoy saunas, the herbal dry sauna and the mugwort steam sauna will ease your muscles, relax your mind and eliminate toxins in the body. After a soak, one of the most popular treatments is the body scrub. A tradition for thousands of years in Korea, the process exfoliates the dead skin cells using soap and a scrub mitt. It cleanses the skin and improves circulation. The process takes about 40 minutes and leaves your skin soft and glowing. You can have your body moisturized afterwards, which finalizes the ultimate pampering experience.

Game Night with Family and Friends
D
uring the long winter months in the Pacific Northwest, we are often trapped inside due to the weather and the long evenings. Why not try something new this winter and establish a game night with family or friends. You can make it a weekly or monthly event. You can set out a few snacks, get the firing burning and let the fun begin. It is easy to plan a game night. With a little preparation and game choices, you can bring a group of people together and provide a game you think will appeal to all. You can also propose a theme, such as trying a new game each month or sharing the tasks and asking each member to bring their favorite snack. If you want something relaxing, a game of Scrabble or a card game might be the game of choice. If you want something a bit more dynamic and interactive, try Outburst, Pictionary, Apple to Apple or Taboo. These games definitely create a lot of energy to warm those cold nights. It does not take too much effort to create a game club. Seek people that are compatible, start small and watch your efforts evolve. The key is finding the right people who want to participate. Needless to say, family is a great choice. If you have grade school children, allow them to invite a friend or better yet, invite their parents over as well. If your children are old enough to be included in the adult game, it is a great way to interact with your children. Games provide people a venue to connect with others in a fun atmosphere. There is no pressure and it does not require a large investment. Once you have the game, all you need is popcorn, a beverage and time dedicated to having some fun. Below are a few ideas on getting your game night started: • Keep It Simple - Start with familiar games that everyone enjoys. Once the group is comfortable, try adding new games. 12
You have each member take a turn choosing the game. You may wish to share the fun by moving game night from house to house and allowing the host to chose. • The Necessities – Keep it casual and fun. Provide some fun snacks to keep up the energy. Do not serve foods that are messy or require utensils. Make sure there is room at or near the game table to set down drinks. The table should be big enough for all players to be comfortable. • Know The Rules - If you are introducing a new game, make sure you know the rules. Read them ahead of time so you can easily explain them to the other players. There is nothing worse than having to refer to the rules every time somebody makes a move. • Most importantly, have fun! – Make sure everybody has fun and make the night special. Do not have the television on and if at all possible, step away from cell phones, texting and computers. That might be difficult if your children are teenagers, but you can set the example. Board game nights are fun to plan and anticipate; but, it is also easy to pull out a game whenever your family seems bored or you want to get away from the television for the night. Remember, keep it fun and enjoy the company! TCG
Game nights are not just about board games. If you prefer the modern, interactive adventures of video games, set a night aside to gather friends and family together and do a little bowling or tennis. You can even create your own rock band! Now wouldn’t that be fun!
