I am semi-retired in Central Oregon and also between careers (I went back to school for Massage Therapy and became an LMTin August). Been taking online courses and searching for something meaningful to do. I signed up to volunteer as a non-medical helper for the vaccine clinics being administered at our local fairgrounds.

I volunteered last Friday and while my particular job wasn’t all that exciting, it was so exciting to be part of something historic and so important. All of the folks were there for their second dose and were beyond elated to be able to get the vaccine.

Hoping to volunteer on a regular basis. We are all in this together.
