Today is Make A Difference Day 2006. America's largest day of doing good occurs annually on the fourth Saturday in October.
"Blogging 24+ ways to make a difference on Make A Difference Day and year-round" is a collaborative project by Shannon Cobb (Deputy Director - The Volunteer Center of United Way), Marianne Partridge (Program Manager - Westchester Emergency Volunteer Reserves-Medical Reserve Corps) and Lisa Tolliver (Producer/Host - the Lisa Tolliver Show and Principal - 360 MERIDIAN, LLC). The project's "four-eyed" mission: to inform, instruct, intrigue and inspire citizens to get involved to save and improve lives on Make a Difference Day and year-round.
