20 years in Jaycee until I got the boot for being too old. Currently in Lions, (which does make me feel old).

Went 10 pin bowling with Rotary the other week and they let me in at the pensionars rate. Its the first time I have got anything as a old fart.

I used to attend marches and protests, handed out free joints(not mine) to motorists and smoked weed on the Auckland District Court steps et al

I have planted hundreds/thousands of trees at a retreat for suicidal kids

Trained as a counsellor at youthline, but because of my autism got bullied by the other counsellors and had to leave

Taught school kids to surf during school camp

Was a graffiti officer in Grey Lynn and community patrol in Epsom a couple of times

Have written extensive submissions to the law commission

Collected money for charities

Rescued and rehomed 8 or so dogs

Due to my mild autism and years of multiple disappointments and sore feelings I cant be bothered helping people and animals much any more, and avoid most interactions with others especially committees and groups...though online I'm fairly vociferous regarding autism rights and politics

I tend to now approach things from an alternative perspective, and find most charities have been corrupted and are corporate sock puppets with an unwholesome agenda.
