Volunteer "appreciation"

(1/2) > >>

IndianInlaw:
I was a volunteer at the public library (10 years!).  The first year I was there, they gave a potluck luncheon for us.  Only thing was...they asked the employees to provide the food.  Their reasoning was, we helped the employees.  The employees, by the way, weren't invited.  I felt very awkward about this, since I'm sure the employees (whom I adored) didn't ask for our help. 

How cheesy was that?

They didn't have another one for many years.  Next time they had a modest catered event, that was, bar none, the loveliest social event I had ever attended.  Except when the singer they hired, dedicated all his songs to his mother...but that's another story.

 :D  Sounds like it could be a very interesting story...

Clara Bow:
I want to follow you around one day...you get into more crazy stuff!

Lisbeth:
If something along these lines happens in the future, you could offer to reimburse the employees.

Sirius:
Unless it was something like providing food for a family for after a funeral, if I was asked to provide food for a function I wasn't invited to, I'd refuse.
