Readers speak out on joining local clubs

Clubs, teams and volunteer organizations help us make friends while making a difference.

 

The desire to be part of a group develops in us at a young age – Brownies, Cub Scouts, youth soccer, to name a few examples.

 

And this sense of community building continues into adulthood with service organizations, sports leagues, book clubs, and more.

 

Do you participate in a club or organization? How important is it to you to be involved?
