They seem to have a large membership base, and it makes me wonder why none of the current members are willing to help...?Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-27336955406415218022018-01-15T11:21:06.808-05:002018-01-15T11:21:06.808-05:00Uggg, I hear you.

These clubs have a tough time getting people to join and do the work, but this is no way to get newbies involved.

My GMO's are more along the lines of scribing, ring steward, runner, etc--things that require no real skill or commitment aka things people are actually likely to participate in!Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308477892024999793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-70380150722108092142018-01-15T00:44:45.321-05:002018-01-15T00:44:45.321-05:00That is pretty nuts and I would have also done a d...That is pretty nuts and I would have also done a double take!L.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-44815671013797481352018-01-14T16:50:16.815-05:002018-01-14T16:50:16.815-05:00i had a total newsletter dumped on me for a club a...i had a total newsletter dumped on me for a club and did it for a whole year till i finally said UMMM enough. It was HORRIBLE wrangling content and getting deadlines met. I never really did get a thank you either. Lesson learned. I cant believe i Did it as long as i did i am an idiot! LOL I love that kind of stuff too.....but....being taken advantage of like that was not in the cards. SO glad you called it out before it got dumped on you. :(<br /><br />PS i am a not a member of said club anymore. There was a lot of drama at that club and it ws just exhausting. I hope the new person doing the newsletter likes drama ;) HA Martidollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02615603986854526853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-52273383622374964922018-01-14T15:26:04.042-05:002018-01-14T15:26:04.042-05:00I agree.

I think I would be more ok with it had I been a member for a while and maybe helped out, wrote articles, etc. But to be thrown in was just totally off putting to me.Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-38701143217498806332018-01-14T14:14:15.157-05:002018-01-14T14:14:15.157-05:00It's so tough.

I used to run and volunteer at a few ogranizations as well. I became burnt out trying to show and volunteer at the same time. I pulled back and now just volunteer when I can.
