[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else have this issue, or have advice on how to handle?

I attend PTA meetings and sometimes they'll say "if you're interested in helping with XYZ, contact this person." And then I will contact them, but I don't get a response. It has happened several times. Like I volunteered to be on a committee they were looking for members for but no response. Another time I sent an email to someone coordinating volunteers to help with a big fundraising event -- same thing. Just recently I sent an email to the person who helps coordinate weekend playdates for younger kids, and I still have not heard back.

I mentioned one of the other emails to the recipient at a PTA meeting ("hey I reached out about that committee but didn't hear back -- I wanted to make sure I had the email correct") and she said "oh yeah, I saw that but forgot to reply -- I'll get back to you soon" but then never did.

I don't want to be paranoid but... am I being frozen out? This can't possibly be that my emails are going to spam for all of these people, right? My kid has been at the school 2.5 years and I can't think of anything I've said or done that would merit that, though. I know I can be sort of socially awkward but I want to be an involved parent so I've made the effort to put myself out there. It's frustrating to be hitting a wall and I'm thinking I might just sit it out. Maybe I can volunteer with the classroom some.

It's especially strange to me because it feels like they are constantly putting out calls for volunteers.[/quote]
