Although there were a lot of volunteers there helping on the morning when we arrived at the Sonoma Heart Walk, they found some things for my husband and I to do. We ended up being bouncers (my name, not theirs) for the VIP tent and had a lot of fun with it. And, of course, we got t-shirts and were treated wonderfully, which is always encouraging to volunteer more! Not to mention, the event itself was a lot of fun. And heart health is a great cause!
