>>We used to have "working bees" where men would show up and work all day to help out with some project, unpaid.<< We have something called "Christmas in April" where groups go fix up old houses that poor people live in. I admit, I've never done it, because if you do then your name gets mentioned in the local paper and everybody tells you that you're a good person, which I hate. I'd rather just do it and have nobody talk about it. Maybe I should ask if I can do it and not get mentioned. But that would seem like showing off, as well.
