Public Service Day
Today is the day to volunteer your time to help in your community. Across the world, volunteer opportunities are endless. You can help out in your local food pantry or become a big brother or big sister. Volunteers are always needed in schools, nursing homes, fire stations and churches.
Public Service Day was started by the United Nations in 2002 as a way to highlight the contribution of public service. Get your friends and family involved in volunteering too, because every act of compassion and kindness, no matter how small, can make a difference!

Today's Tip:
Lemonade Kool-Aid
Aha! use: Cleaning lime deposits and iron stains inside the dishwasher. Pour a packet of lemonade Kool-Aid (the only flavor that works) into the detergent cup and run the (empty) dishwasher.
Reward: Citric acid in the mix wipes out stains; you don't have to
