Benefits of Volunteering

Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community where you live. There are so many different ways that you can volunteer here in Williamsville, NY and the surrounding area. Find a cause that you are passionate about and get involved! Our Windsong Place Blog is sharing a few of the benefits that come along with volunteering in today’s post just in time for the Martin Luther King Day of Service coming up on January 21st. Benefits of Volunteering Making Connections Volunteering allows you to connect with others around you in a meaningful way. You will make new friendships, improve your social skills, and expand your network. You will also have the satisfaction that comes from being a part of something bigger than yourself. New Skills You often learn and develop new skills when you volunteer and these new skills can be beneficial for furthering your career. You can gain experience in an area that interests you through volunteering and then add that experience to your resume. Health Benefits You feel good when you serve others, but there may be even more health benefits behind volunteering. Volunteering may also help you stay physically and mentally healthy. Serving others is helpful in combating depression, as well as counteracting the effects of stress, anger, and anxiety. Boost Your Resume Having volunteer experience on your resume is a good sign to potential employers. It shows that you care about something and that you are self-motivated. While we don’t recommend volunteering only to put it on your resume, it can act as an extra motivator to help you take the leap. What is your favorite thing about volunteering? What benefits have you seen in your own life from volunteering? Share your thoughts and experience with the rest of our Williamsville apartment community in the comments. Thanks for reading our post. We hope you enjoy getting out of your apartment and volunteering this month!

Start a Book Club in July

In this edition, the Windsong Place Apartment Homes Blog has a few tips to help you start your own book club. It’s a great way to spend time with friends, enjoy good food, and discuss books you may not have read otherwise. Gather your friends, choose a date, and start your own book club here in Williamsville, NY this month. Create & Organize The most important thing to keep in mind when you’re starting your book club is when and where you will be holding your meetings. Have each member of your book club vote on the best time and day to meet each month. Google Forms are a great way to create a survey to help you determine just when you should be meeting. Your Windsong Place apartment is perfect for smaller groups. For a larger group, schedule our clubhouse to meet in. Stay organized by establishing an email list, a Facebook page, or other means of announcing books and meetings. Choose Books Also, remember to consult the members of your group when choosing which book to read. We think that having your friends nominate books and vote on what to read is an awesome way to choose which books to read each month. Make sure your books are short enough for group members to finish and meaty enough to talk about for at least twenty minutes. For fun, rate your book each month and see how it fares. Keep track on a Google Sheet that everyone can access. Add Food Food is an integral part of many book groups. It is a social activity after all. Organize a signup sheet for food, because talking about books and eating certainly go together. Remember to include both savory, sweet, and healthy options when it comes to eats. Bookish , Penguin , and Real Simple have some great ideas to help you start your club; however, if setting up a book club doesn’t appeal to you, there’s another option. Join the Village Book Club , it meets at the Williamsville Branch of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library on Thursday evenings. We hope you enjoyed our post this time. Visit us again to read about some books you may want to read this summer.
