Speaking of life jackets, while attending the ASAE annual meeting I'll have the opportunity to help extend the lives of stray dogs. The volunteer project for this year's conference speaks directly to my main passion: helping animals. I'll be putting to use the skills I learned during my high school and college jobs at Bellmeadow Bakery on Long Island and in the Snelling Hall bakery at the University of Georgia. A group of ASAE attendees will work with professional bakers to make healthy and delicious treats for the dogs at Stray Rescue of St. Louis. Then comes the best part: We'll have the chance to feed our treats to the pups and see the smiles on their faces.
If you are attending the ASAE conference and cannot participate in the Stray Rescue project, you can help the formerly abused and neglected dogs, cats and other animals by making a donation at the marked areas of the convention center. If you're not attending, you can donate at www.strayrescue.org.
You just never know when learnings from an old job will come in handy. What's the oldest skill you've put to work lately?
