Dear Annie: At any age, you can find fulfillment by volunteering

Dear Annie:

I’m 67 years old. Last year I joined my local volunteer fire company. I wasn’t sure what I could do, but I figured I could do something. I decided to take a course to be an EMT, so I went to school and am now a Certified Emergency Medical Technician!

I found camaraderie with the fire crew, a link to my community and something fulfilling for me to do. Volunteer Fire Companies are desperate for help. No matter how “old” you are, they’ll have something you can do. — Volunteer

Dear Volunteer:

I hope that your letter inspires others to know that it’s never too late to pursue a passion. Especially when that passion helps others! By helping others you are helping yourself. When we show kindness and love to each other, we get kindness and love back!
