Networking Opportunities...

Can be found in unusual places. Have you ever considered volunteering in your community?


President Barack Obama's call for Americans to better their communities through community service is an opportunity to not just better the community, but to also meet new people and expand your network.

Those people who know me know that I am a Chicago White Sox baseball fan - so much so I proudly mention it in my LinkedIn profile. I was happy to read this article:


Sox heed Obama's call to service
First Fan inspires club to start new charitable venture

posted on the Chicago White Sox website. The ball club will organize community service events during 2009 that will incorporate support from the organization, players, staff and members of a new volunteer group. These volunteers will be called upon to join team members and front-office staff at special events during the 2009 baseball season and offseason.

Click this link to sign up for the White Sox volunteer corps, for updates in scheduled service events or for more information on White Sox community service efforts and their charity partners. Who knows.. you might even be able to add Ozzie Guillen to your network.
