[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? As someone who comes from an upper class, old money family I don’t really understand why that is your goal. Most of the people in that world are boring or awful.

I run my family’s private foundation and give away millions of dollars a year to charitable causes. Doing the same, or finding a way to become connected with nonprofits is probably the best way to become enmeshed in this part of society. As I said not really sure why you’d want to, but that’s the “easiest” way. [b]Start volunteering or join some committees and get involved in order to join[/b]. [/quote]

A lot of younger social climbers have started doing that recently!  Many of them are very blatant about it, though: they slap their names onto things without actually lifting a finger to help, whether it be raising funds or volunteering their time.  And they always try to be where the cameras are at events to get the money shot of them standing next to some corporate big wig or featured celebrity guest.  If OP can consistently do good work through her volunteering over several years, she can use that experience to keep doing the same for bigger and more well-funded nonprofits, but it is a significant investment in terms of time.[/quote]
