I have been a member of the Durham Young Professionals for almost a year now and recently I joined the newly reformed Community/Civic sub-committee to help other like-minded professionals do some good in our local neighborhoods.
This past week, we collected boxes of mac & cheese as part of the DYP Monthly Mingle for Urban Ministries in downtown Durham.

I received a call from an old friend of mine this morning when he saw me in the Herald-Sun newspaper and he congratulated me on doing something good for the community and being famous for a day.
I originally joined the DYP to spread the word about my services, but it's great to see this group as more than just a place to make contacts! For more information about how to help out and to sign up for events, check out the DYP website at the Durham Chamber of Commerce or see what opportunities you may find at your own local Chamber.
