One of the things that I learned from my time as a project leader for a volunteer organization is that no matter how small or even how tardy, all volunteers appreciate receiving thanks even when they receive swag or other tangibles.

The event I recently finished had many volunteers who completed some 'above and beyond' work for the gala fundraiser I managed them for. Hopefully in addition to an email 'thank you,' I can persuade the event organizers to do something a little more.

I will need to also task care of making sure the volunteer lists are accurate, since it is likely that I will not be volunteer recruiter / coordinator next year, the person that comes behind me will have to understand what was done.

    Emma Lathan was born in Boston.  She grew  
    up in the city of Cambridge and does not mind having grown up as a Yankee in a household of Southerners.

    Her projects include developing a writing blog, a blog where she dissects her favorite soaps and tv shows, an epic novel on the order of "Gone With the Wind" or "Three Kingdoms" and her take on stories written by the Bronte sisters.
