Dorothy: I totally agree that we have many great volunteers  and for the 
most part they are overworked. But new tasks do not have to be  done by the 
same group. In fact one of the reasons organizations have problems  is always 
asking the same people. We do have at least a small turnover of  members and 
I am sure there are new people that emerge. But we have to ask  them. If we 
listen to our new members we may hear of many that might take on a  new 
job. Getting people involved is a great way to get them invested in a  society. 
This works for affiliates, sections, and the main organization.  Sometimes 
those of us who have been around a long time find it hard to give up  our 
control. We have to offer people the chance to fail. Sometimes they come  back 
to something else and do great things.

Thank you,  John, for this clarification. Our volunteers are an amazing  
group of  people; there just are not enough, and you can only ask so much 
of the  
same group of folks. As Jim noted, we need new, younger people to keep the  
organization healthy.

I  need to be clear on  this specific comment. The paid part of the website 
job to  Chris  Hollinshead who has been exceptional in keeping the website 
up. The   bottle neck has been the Electronic Services Chair, which for 
better 
or  worse  is back to me again. Everything that has been forwarded to Chris 
 
has been  acted on in a timely manner.

Some things fall to the  Electronic  Services Chair which is an unpaid 
position. Yes, there  are times when I have  not been as responsive as 
everyone 
would  like.

Traditionally the  following positions have been  paid:

Membership  Chair
Registrar
Webmaster
Bulletin  Editor

Everything else id  done by  volunteers

Thanks

John
