It's starts right there with what Polly is doing, people. As said above by Deborah, service to her community is what Polly is doing hands on and - from the perspective of one of the men in Pollys life that have directly benefitted from her contributions - I say thank you Pollyand keep up the good work. Yes, I can be "off," brazen, unkempt, smelly sometimes, but the "little" things that volunteers do help get me back in line. With their help, I might just bounce all the way back..
