This article spoke volumes to me. And actually lifted my spirits. To think that I could be useful and feel productive during these times would be a gift. The comments made me realize that the organizations would have lots of issues with us grannies entering the picture. So I am going to search for a small community run organization that might need my skills. I might not make a big difference but perhaps I can make a small difference and stop feeling useless, defeated and hung out to dry. I am not done yet.

Volunteerism has fallen victim to lawyer led liability concerns.

To the person who said the administration bill to the FT staff is not worth the scratch, well get a volunteer to be the overall administrator of the volunteers! There are literally thousands of people with the experience required to organize, delegate, and control armies of staff.

Start thinking out of the box!!
