MORE GREAT ADVICE FROM FREDERICK COUNTY
By Marie Melby Elam
It sure is an active and busy time for all of us with the campaigns in full swing.
Looking at the world around us it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the challenges that we face. We see big, complex problems, and we often ask ourselves, “What can one person personally do?”
The answer lives in a single, powerful word - Volunteerism.
Volunteerism is the ultimate form of personal responsibility. It is the decision to stop waiting for someone else to fix a problem, and instead, to step up and fix it ourselves.
Whether it is feeding the hungry, mentoring and caring for children or cleaning up a local park, volunteering is the glue that holds our community together, It proves that change does not start from the top down; it starts from the ground up, driven by everyday people who care.
But I want to take that idea of volunteerism a step further. I want to talk about a specific, vital form of service that shapes the very future of our society; supporting our political candidates.

Let's Come Together
I’ll bet you did a lot of remembering last week. Me too.
Saturday we had a moving discussion in Rockville, remembering one year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated and 25 years since the terrorists murdered so many Americans on 9/11. Packed room, great speakers and guests and of course our constant prayer of “never again.”
So much was local since Washington was also attacked, Todd Beamer saying, “Let’s roll...”, Rockville and townships throughout the county holding observances, I even spoke about Erika Kirk reliving the violence at the Washington Hilton's Correspondents' Dinner - through yet another assassination attempt on the President, weeping as she was led out, fearing she might not be able to hug her kids again.
We pledge to each other to stop the political violence, tone down the hateful rhetoric and talk ideas, solutions, and return to normalcy. It’s what we all pray for.
