while we spend a lot of time talking about rust and such here, i think it would be wise to invest a few electrons to think about our own volunteer programs and evaluate what works at each organiation especially well; afterall if we don't have people, we don't have trains; so, anybody got an aspect of their organiation that is really outstanding? is your recruiting program tops? is your organiation excellent? is your training program something worth noting? whose got a leadership structure that encourages things to get done? anybody having especially good luck in recruiting the two groups that i consider essential to any groups like ours: the retirees and the 20-somethings? <br> from the postings, maybe we can make a composite of THE BEST VOLUNTEER PROGRAM.<br> <br> <br>

I'm also interested in what other groups do - what works and what doesn't<br>
