"Volunteering is just plain good for you", remarks Kris Marshall, who coordinates the 7 ^th annual Edina Day of Service on Saturday, October 24 ^th .  She believes that working together in volunteer service is what brings people together.  Marshall, who coordinates Communication and Program Services for the Edina Community Foundation, believes that Healthy kids = a Healthy community. Research has shown that by helping our neighbors we create stronger relationships and connections with our families and community.  Through volunteering we become positive role models for children and provide more resources for youth, adults and families.  Edina Morningside Rotary will once again organize a large group of youth and adult volunteers to pick up litter along Highway 100.  Cool Planet   has been involved in Edina Day of Service for the past 6 years. The environmental community action group combines their love for biking and sustainability by visiting service sites by bike. They like to call it "bike-to-serve" and travel from one site to another to assist with organized service projects like fall garden composting, removal of wild buckthorn, playground clean up and visiting neighborhood solar projects. Paul Thompson of Cool Planet says, "Edina Day of Service gives us an opportunity to high-light some simple actions that ordinary citizens can take to make a difference in the environment."
