That said, we had our own problems, like the park ranger we had for a few years who was an ex-LA cop. She wanted to issue citations (like traffic citations, not like merit badges) to volunteers who, in the ranger's opinion, didnt measure up, usually in some trivial way. I remember the fashion violation she tried to issue... Fashion citation to volunteers? That is downright funny! I just about spewed my drink on the screen laughing... The idea for merit awards is a much better idea.. Gia Looking back, I guess it is laughable. At the time I was the Volunteer Association President caught between the senior park ranger (who could tell us to get out) and the 100-ish volunteers. Those volunteers ought to have been told thank-you, your costume/interpretation/display has improved so much and not that hat is a misdemeanor offense. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Gia -- Original message -- From: Cin [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm going Wednesday night to turn in my application to be a volunteer at a local historic site. They do 1860's. Nothing fancy, it's a farm house, but it looks like it could be fun. I've met some of the other ladies and they're nice. Those of you who do volunteer work at sites, how did you get the 'job'? Hey, Dawn I just started showing up. Every month. (That's when the site did living history: just once a month.) Pretty soon I was on the events planning committee, the next year head of another committee, another year later I was on the board, then president. Unless it's Sturbridge or Billburg (er, Williamsburg) most sites dont say no, thank-you. That said, we had our own problems, like the park ranger we had for a few years who was an ex-LA cop.
