RE: clubs and events.. input to an issue i am having
I feel your pain. The 20% rule lives and breathes in most clubs. If you can get more that 20% of your clubs membership to actively participate/work at the field and for club events , etc...then you need to go and get a job at the local PBS station because you are a great leader !
Otherwise you have to face the facts that most members will not work for the club , they only want to come, fly, and go home. It's up to the few dedicated members who make a club work. It's a tough pill to swallow but that's the way it is. Sometimes you luck out and get a real good group but that's typically not the case. Just don't let it get to you because you are not alone!
