T'is the season to be caring, fah la la la la, la la la la!

OK... I have to admit, I am a HUGE fan of the television show GLEE. (Yes, I even own the t-shirt.) I am often caught on Tuesday evenings singing along to my favourite tunes with Rachel Berry and the rest of the New Directions cast. I know many of you out there think the show is annoying fluff, but last night's episode certainly wasn’t. It was a holiday special focused on giving back and making a difference in the community.
  
The show really got me thinking about my “Care it Forward” journey, which has been a great way to showcase fantastic people and organizations in our community who show they care by volunteering their time. I’m happy to announce that someone has taken the “Care it Forward” idea to a whole new level, and I get to help out!

Carlos Benevides from the Beat Breakfast team at 91.5 The Beat recently embarked on a journey of giving back called “30 Deeds in 30 Days”. Every day since November 25th, he’s been lending a hand at local agencies, helping to bring volunteerism to the forefront.

In following Carlos’ blog about his efforts, I found myself really wanting to do more. So, I’ll be joining him this coming Saturday at House of Friendship in Kitchener to distribute turkeys to those who might not otherwise be able to have a holiday feast.

I’m excited to share my experience with you next week. I'll be sure to post pictures, and you can check out Carlos' blog for video. I promise not to post any videos of me singing and dancing to "We need a little Christmas"!!!

Thanks, Carlos Benevides from 91.5 The Beat, for being a true Community Hero!

And thanks everyone in the KW area, for helping me to Care it Forward!
