Introduction

I'm a techie. Co-founded a startup and love it. I love the concept of microvolunteering and love being exposed to different communities and organizations.

Have you ever volunteered before? In what way? (Tutoring, Kids, Humanitarian, Cleanup, Nature, Animals) Still doing so?

Yes, several political campaigns including Miguel Del Valle for Chicago mayor, Cabrini Connections (high school tutoring), Erie House (community tutoring)

What do a peron's day-to-day actions REALLY say about them? What do the words MORAL FIBER mean to you? Tell us what you think...

I learn quite a bit from people that handle negative situations gracefully and confront problems (face to face) rather than ignore them.

Are you new to Chicago? Might you need or can you help carpool? As a fun community of members, transport to non-city events never ends up a problem!

My wife and I have been here 1.5 years

Occasionally outside groups contact us looking for help. Is there a specific type (animals, kids, etc) of volunteering you would like us to keep you mind for in these situations?

Social and political activism, the arts, and helping the underprvileged

Where did you hear about our group? A Current Member (who)? Meetup link/email? Flier? Speech? Facebook? Other? (Specific answers will help us & the number we reach out to *GROW* :)

  • I figure there'll be so many Hawks fans out, it would be safer to just watch at home. I'm happy to host some folks if there are more in the city that want to watch...my tv's not the biggest in the world though.

  • Hi Chirag, Thanks for the interview the other day. I'll email you a copy this week. Game 3 had me nervous.

  • Chirag,
    would be happy to discuss ReachMD as part of the March 23rd panel -- we are the only XM satellite radio channel for medical professionals in the U.S. (based in Northbrook). We push out general medical news for clinicians as well as provide short-format CE/CME programming to docs, PAs, NPs, and pharmacists.

  • Hello, Chirag! Would love to have you come and speak about your work, either on the fly or as a larger presentation (or both!) Please let me know if the 28th works for you.

    Best,
    Bryan Campen
