How civically involved are you?

Do you patronize your public library? Do you visit local parks?

What about volunteering at a food bank?

Have you ever called a city councilmember to ask about local programs?

Do you vote?

Do you like to talk to elected officials or their staff? Do you write or call them?

I like to visit my library. When I lived on the Big Island, I visited the library multiple times every month.

I was active in community theatre, and we used one particular park often to give free performances. It was wonderful.

I like to use local hiking trails that are maintained by the county park department.

I vote, and I call elected officials whenever I think it’s necessary.

Mean-spirited posts will be flagged. Let’s be civil.
