community involvement stay connected um
0:04
so these are all kind of similar to how
0:06
you're maintaining friendships but maybe
0:08
in slightly different ways so when
0:10
you're staying connected connected with
0:12
community involvement you might find
0:14
other ways to support if you can't
0:16
always be there um so I might follow my
0:19
favorite small businesses on social
0:22
media and interact that way i might make
0:24
donations to my favorite charities or
0:27
places um I might spread awareness i
0:30
might advocate right there are other
0:32
ways you can stay connected without
0:34
physically having to be somewhere all of
0:36
the
0:37
time communication if you're organizing
0:41
or you're on a committee for something
0:44
you can again communicate your
0:45
availability and if you're the planner
0:47
you can plan around it again you might
0:49
have to compromise or adjust some things
0:51
from time to time but that's where the
0:53
next step of prioritizing comes in
0:56
prioritizing the organizations that are
0:58
most important to you along with again

one to two events that you might like to
1:03
attend if this gala is coming up at the
1:05
end of the year and that's really what I
1:07
want to be a part of make it so you can
1:10
be there you might not be able to attend
1:12
everything but that's where staying
1:14
connected other ways and communication
1:16
come into play
