Helping out with the bulb-a-thon introduced me to many people in town, from school and town employees to parents, children, and teachers. It was nice to volunteer in a way that would help me know more about the town where I live. One of the best things about it is that the children will enjoy the fruits of their labor in the spring when the daffodils bloom. Not only will they see beautiful flowers, but hopefully they will feel a sense of stewardship of a common space.
