Trying to shame people into volunteering is an ineffective method of getting help.

No worries, at least we agree on something.

If it isn't signalling the end of the universe as we know it...

I get that you guys are frustrated, and I am sure that I am to blame for a part of your frustrations... But I have to question how it appears to visitors to the site and new club members when the current and future Presidents of the club are rejoicing in the shaming of it's members...

It`s intent was not to shame to make a poin of get out & help your club where it counts most, the therad clearly show the apathy in this club, hope it helps.

I think they are pointing out, and quite correctly, the completely lack of volunteer support when it mattered.  External perception would be that there has been an issue getting volunteers?  I'm not sure "rejoicing" or "shaming" are words I would use to describe what's been said, unless i missed something.. .with so many active threads i certainly could have.

And I'm just saying heading into a membership drive it really doesn't say 'Welcome, come on in, the water's fine...'

Hookup stop it 
I`m off to see my Doc.

You nailed it Hookup!

There are lots of volunteer opportunities coming up...membership drives, meetings, events, etc.  Execs will often need a bit of help preparing for meetings or getting some contacts or doing some research or following up, etc.  Please volunteer!! 

The election will be back in May.

I will admit I am guilty as sin on this issue, the hypocrisy has not escaped me...

I just don't think this thread is productive, nor is the shaming of the members...

You're a fellow pond fanatic...do some brainstorming to get a few more of us pond nuts into the club!   I want a summer OVAS pond tour but I don't know too many of the pond people.
