S. Gans, secretary of the club has decided to prepare an- other requisition which will be mailed August 10th. Every member of the club who desires to or- der anything at this time should go at once to the office of McCoy & Gans, in the Bank of Tehama County building, and sub- mit a list of articles they wish ordered. This will make the third requisi- tion from the local club and should be the last one for the present year. — July 25, 1915 100 YEARS AGO... To make out third order for gun club How often have you said some form of, "I don't have enough time to do what I want to do"? We live in a hectic world. The constant d e m a n d s from work and fam- ily commit- ments often leave us lit- tle time for personal plea- sures or for additional pur- suits, like volunteering. I agree it can be diffi- cult to find the time to vol- unteer, however, the bene- fits reaped can be stagger- ing. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help an- other without helping him- self". Many great leaders and major public figures understand this and volun- teer, not only to aid an or- ganization, cause, or com- munity, but also to help themselves. While volun- teering they have learned other skills and built expe- rience, made new friends and contacts, and through the course have often ad- vanced their careers. If you want to stay healthy, then add volun- teering to eating well, hav- ing regular check-ups and exercising. The federal Corporation for National & Community Service, in their 2007 report The Health Benefits of Volun- teering, summarized their findings from a number of research studies conducted over the past twenty years. They noted, "When in- dividuals volunteer, they not only help their com- munity but also experi- ence better health in later years, whether in terms of greater longevity, higher functional ability, or lower rates of depression. In ad- dition when a state has high volunteer rates, they are more likely to have less incidence of heart disease." Helping others encour- ages happiness. Research- ers at the London School of Economics examined the relationship between volunteering and mea- sures of happiness in a large group of American adults. The result was that they found that the more people volunteered, the happier they were. I don't know about you, but I can always use an extra mea- sure of 'happy'. Children are sponges and tend to mimic what they see. Even though it can be challenging, volunteering with your child imparts valuable life lessons and skills. They learn firsthand how one person can make a difference, thus enhancing self-esteem and creating a sense of empowerment. They acquire a sense of re- sponsibility in doing a job well. They practice kind- ness, learn to respect oth- ers, and gain an increased awareness of good citizen- ship. It is also well docu- mented, that children who volunteer are less likely to become involved in at-risk behaviors. If you want to find a job or change a career, volun- teering can be an excel- lent way to help you do it. You have an opportunity to meet people that you might never have had the possi- bility to encounter. These new contacts may have, or know someone who has, a job opening. In addition, volunteering is a golden chance to gain experience in a desired field of inter- est. For example, if you are looking into the vet- erinary profession, volun- teer at a shelter. When ap- plying for a job, volunteer work makes applicants look more appealing to em- ployers as demonstrated by the Deloitte survey. If you are new to the area, volunteer. It is a wonderful way to meet new people and learn more about the com- munity. It assists in creat- ing a support network that you may not have as a new arrival. In addition, you get to share common interests with like-minded individu- als, and participate in many fun and fulfilling activities. I happen to volunteer at the Tehama County Animal Care Center (TCACC), 1830 Walnut Street, Red Bluff, and with the non-profit or- ganization P.E.T.S. (www. petstehama.org) whose mission is to improve the welfare of homeless ani- mals in Tehama County. In addition, we assist (TCACC) in the care of the animals housed within their facil- ity. If you are interested in volunteering, I heartily en- courage you to do so with one of these wonderful or- ganizations. A wagging tail or the gentle purr of an an- imal that you have helped is guaranteed to give you a good feeling. Knowing you have made a positive dif- ference in a life is one of the most rewarding expe- riences a person can have. If assisting animals is not your forte, many other or- ganizations in the county would readily welcome volunteer assistance. One good resource to locate a vast array of volunteer op- portunities is 2-1-1-Services (http://211norcal.org/te- hama/find-services/). Whatever volunteer venue you choose, know that you will make a differ- ence. You become a shin- ing light to those helped, and you help strengthen the community in which you live. Both are wonder- ful rewards to reap. RonnieCaseyisvice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter. She can be reached at rmcredbluff@ gmail.com.
