I just want to add that just because another "non profit" does it a certain way, that does NOT justify USAWKS doing it that way as well. If USAWKS has done it one way forever, which is all volunteer, any change to that should be brought before the membership.

I think that the overall decline in charitable giving to these "non profits" charities can be attributed not only to the economy, but also to the fact that people, including me, think that too much of what they give goes to salaries, instead of directly to the "need".

My two cents worth
