[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 shrimpers and a baby and a husband that works in another state so I truly cannot volunteer at meets but I guarantee you I donate more money than any other family.[/quote]

And how does this help run a meet exactly?  Are some of the timers going to get paid and some not?  Maybe the lucky recipient is the poor clerk of course herding everyone's kids.

I'm sorry but if the person who volunteered with my SO last week can do it - think of people who literally have the most important jobs in this town, you can do it.  Or I don't know - since you have the funds...pay a babysitter so you can go to the meet and volunteer.[/quote]

Our team can use the money and the volunteering, so if you're donating it helps.

But if you're a family that has more money than time, you can also use that money in other ways.  You can buy things rather than make things for pot luck.  Plenty of families get their contribution delivered by UberEats direction to the pool.  You can hire a babysitter on a Saturday morning when your kids aren't swimming to come and help out with an A meet.  While you're there you might meet the parent who runs the volunteers who will let you know about a baby friendly job.  For example, you might find out that the person who does the Costco run has her youngest going off to college, and they're happy to reassign that job to you, or your housekeeper. [/quote]
