Pat Porterfield
“I know I can’t save the world, but in my part of the world I can make a difference. There is so much need in our community. That’s where my energy goes. I volunteer as much as I can and enjoy everything I do, or I wouldn’t do it. It’s my time to give back and serve. The amount of friends I have made through volunteering is amazing. I have made more friends since I turned 80 than I did my entire life. These friends are not just, ‘Hello, how’s it going?’ friends – they make a big difference in my life.”
