Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
Name five things you've accomplished in your life. I was working on a project a few days ago, and that directive was part of the instructions. I sometimes get so caught up in what I want (or need) to do that I lose track of what I've already done. The mail I get from you tells me you are much the same way.
When wondering if you can make it full-time RVing…. When putting together your resume…. When applying for a job…. Stop and think about the things in your life that you have already accomplished.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
When looking for a volunteer position, look to organizations that deal with issues you are concerned about or that are of special interest to you. Members of fraternal organizations might volunteer for a special chapter project. Aviation enthusiasts, look to aviation museums. If you love kids and sports, check out summer youth programs. Many non-profits can use your help, not just parks. And, many of them have
-- or can find you -- a rent-free place to park your RV.
