Yeah for JoAnn's Team of Opportunities! I spent many of my years working in the field of retail AND LOVED IT! Retail is a community based business that should naturally care about thier surrounding population who are it's patrons. To care enough to give of your time unselfishly to others can be a so much more rewarding assignment. If only we did not as individuals have to think of the money we make per hour to survive on and give those hours for pure enjoyment all the time. Alas it is not a realistic thought but a wish. This week for your company will be a wish come true for the givers as well as the recipients. I applaud all who willingly share a part of their experience with another to make a difference in someone's life. I know this to be so because I am a volunteer.
