[quote=Anonymous]Ha I feel this post wholeheartedly. I am one of those people that volunteers and organizes and makes things happen. My older kid was barely in school when the pandemic started. I think that had a huge affect on our school's PTA and volunteering in general. The thing that drives me is that my parents weren't able to volunteer in any of these things and as a result, I didn't get to experience what I considered quintessential American community culture/events. My dad was always working, my mom didn't speak enough English to make it work. Plus I was bussed to a school 40 minutes from my house. So with my kids now, I'm making a strong effort to show up and volunteer. Nowadays, if there aren't enough volunteers (and organizers!), events won't happen. So even though I get burnt out, I make it a point to organize and volunteer.[/quote]
