Since there's not much going on in the world of country music this week, I figured it would be a good time to look at the community calendar and highlight a few organizations who need volunteers.

May 19th
Humane Society Doggy Bathe-in: This is a great way to keep (or get) your mutts clean and flea-free! It's a low cost way for you to bathe and groom your dogs and get them a flea dip. Fleas are expected to be worse than normal this year due to the mild winter. The bathe-in will be going on from 9-2 on the third Saturday of the month until October. For more info call: 850-432-4250
Grace Lutheran Church Rummage Sale: Shop the annual rummage sale Saturday from 7am - 11am to support youth missions and events. GLC is at 6601 North 9th Ave (just south of Creighton across from the fire station). More info: 850-476-5667
May 26th
Harold Volunteer Fire Department: Join Harold VFD for their fish fry fundraiser. More info: 850-983-8564
July 27-29th
Boo Weekley's Camp Compass Golf Scramble: Boo's 10th annual charity golf tournament is moving to Hidden Creek Golf Club in Navarre this year! Saturday's golf tournament is full, but you can still come out for the live & silent auction Friday night. They will have a TON of different stuff again this year....you'll find something. Then head out Saturday after the golf tournament to see Larry the Cable Guy and Gary Allan! Boo knows how to have a good time, so be sure to head that way in July. More info: http://booweekley.com/
Also, if you have time and would like to volunteer, here's a list of folks that could really use a hand:
Northwest Florida Blood Services: Donating blood is a tough sell because so many people are uncomfortable around needles. You always hear us telling you that blood donors are needed because there is no substitute for blood. It cannot be created and it cannot be stored for long periods of time. Shelf life is a couple weeks for blood, and only a couple days for blood platelets. Yes, it takes time and yes, it can be somewhat uncomfortable, but it really is worth it. If you would like to get more info or schedule a donation, call: 850-473-3853 or go to www.nfbcblood.org
Habitat For Humanity: Can you hammer a nail in a board? If so, you are qualified to help! The great thing about working with HFH is that you don't need prior experience to help out. They have site directors who will help you learn how get the job done. Is it hard work? Yes. Is it rewarding to help build someone else's house? Absolutely. If you would like to volunteer, call: 850-434-5456
