A great resource is the website Volunteermatch.org which lets users narrow down volunteer opportunities in their area with a search engine that provides wonderful results. If you are looking to help out an organization serve Thanksgiving dinner, you can find it on the site. If you are looking to volunteer with the elderly, foster children, or the homeless, there will be plenty of great organizations looking for help. Check out the site and have a wonderful time giving back this holiday season.

Yes, the headline did say Japanese Food Festival! How yummy does that sound? If we have your attention, come enjoy the best Japanese food festival around. The event offers authentic Japanese food, crafts and vendors. For those foodies, this event is a once-a-year chance to taste new flavors and enjoy your favorite Japanese food cooked to perfection.

The event will also offer various products not in wide U.S distribution (so you can score a few gems if you search hard enough). Price of admission includes: unlimited Ramen, unlimited food samples (over 30 exhibitors) and best of all unlimited sake and beer tasting (for adults 21 and over of course).

Adult tickets cost $70 but a $55 early bird discount is available until November 10. Children 4-12 cost $35 with a $28 early bird discount. Here is a quick look at the schedule of events.
