Reply #131: I wish I were [View All]

I've interviewed dozens of people over the last several months, worked with hundreds of volunteers, dozens of committees. About 3/4 of volunteers want to come into the office and "stuff envelopes". They don't know how to enter names and addresses into the computer or even type a simple letter and print it. One poor woman begged me to give her a job since she couldn't find regular work and couldn't buy food, but it took her an entire day just to update a one page list with 10 names and addresses. Two of the treasurers we had over the years were both CPA's but couldn't use any form of computerized accounting program - only used handwritten ledgers, then typed the financial reports into Word.
