Noel Mitchell speaks at Hangout about volunteering, and the many places he gained a bird's eye view of the internal workings of local organizations and events.

Then Barry Anderson, the Hangout President for 2011, shares his Toastmaster speech on volunteering to encourage you to consider contributing to others, particularly in these down economic times.

Paula Rhoads, producer of Brainiacs, starts off this hour with a few remarks about upcoming events and how important it is to be able to openly discuss mental health issues in order to promote solutions.

She mentions operationTBIfreedom.org as a website connecting military with programs designed to answer specific needs of veterans with traumatic brain injury.

Oh, and brainline.org for some interesting education.

Don't forget a full calendar at www.denveroptions.org.

And, of course, the central clearinghouse: the Brain Injury Association of Colorado at biacolorado.org.
