Summary: Community Service for the Corporate World
Comment: To compete in today's changing business world, corporations are being forced to find ways to adapt and find new ways to reach their customers. "Heroes After Hours" tells of several companies who are meeting this challenge.

"Heroes After Hours" is a wonderful book about corporations working to improve the lives of the greater community. Individuals in several large corporations took it upon themselves to design and implement community service projects, which their corporation later supported and endorsed. The projects and individuals featured were inspirational- the projects went beyond the normal and conventional volunteer projects. The projects are praise-worthy and truly inovative.

As the author demonstrates volunteerism and community service help more than just the recipent. Community service and volunteering improves everyones lives. Reading this book demonstrated that corporate America has the ability to adapt and help others in need.

Summary: Evidence that "Earth Angels" are among us in the workplace.
Comment: Most people who initiate a volunteer program would agree, it's not for the recognition. Hats off to these authors for bringing to light numerous examples of true "Hero's After Hours." I'm sure the individuals who are featured appreciate the well-deserved recognition.

This book is a wonderful blueprint for initiating a volunteer program. It provides fresh, timely ideas for those who are searching for a worthy cause to support. It offers examples of corporate commitments which can make the difference when presenting ideas to upper management.

Even if the reader isn't interested in starting a volunteer effort, this book will surely warm their heart and perhaps spur individuals to get involved somewhere - every single effort counts!
