I recently joined my township's planning commission. It was suspiciously easy to join. Anyway, learning about city planning and ordinances is really fascinating. I highly recommend people get involved with their local boards and commissions.

I was a library trustee for 9 years; I learned a lot about the town and how it works. Neat stuff!
