My friend and co-worker Jen invited me to volunteer with her on Saturday for the Cambridge River Festival, an annual event featuring live music, dance and art performances. At first because it started at 7am, I wasn't sure, but I am so glad I agreed to go. It was so nice to spend the morning with her and we met some other interesting people too, especially Alicia. She just moved to Boston and is such a positive, energetic and resourceful person, I felt more excited about the day just being around her! I was reminded that when you volunteer for events, or go out of your way to do things that you might not normally do, when you get out and help, you meet great people and can have a lot of fun.
