At a meeting of a volunteer organization, there was heated discussion over who would be responsible for some 900 prize ribbons for the annual fair. The job had previously been done by a long standing member. Now the time had come for younger hands to get involved. No one volunteered. Finally a member was nominated who promptly said, "I don‘t know if I would like it 3' The woman who had done the job for so long replied, “You don't have to like it, just do it." Everything that describes a volunteer was said in that short exchange. From Second Penny, March/April, 1988. H & C December, January 1989 13
