Even though I am an introvert through-and-through and normally avoid big, crowded events at all costs, I also have a strong sense of civic duty to the community hospital that I work at, and as such, I always sign up to volunteer at our outreach booth during the Big Neighborhood Seafood-Related Festival that happens every July (except for the last two, for obvious reasons.) I love talking to the many people who had their babies at our hospital, who were born there, who had their Major Surgery there, and who gush about how they were saved from impending death at our Emergency Department.
Love it! 🙂
