It is important that if you take work to do, you are committed to doing it. It is expensive in money and time for us to provide materials and we don't want to have to do it twice. I will also keep track here of who has what as I sometimes send out a book and lose track of where it is. If you have material I have sent you that you have not completed please let me know.
Why Volunteer to help? Every volunteer has her or his own reasons for chipping in on developing this enormous digital online library. For me and many others, it is the opportunity to learn continually that attracts us and the wish to preserve the artifacts and memories of our local predecessors. Some volunteers have found just the answer they were looking for in their own research while typing for the site. Many people tell me that they want to chip in as gratitude for all that they have gleaned from the site. Some chip in just because they believe in what we are doing and share our concern that the lives of our predecessors be preserved. We all feel that this is a worthwhile way for us to convert our time, energy and skills into creating and distributing a body of knowledge that will live far longer than we do. For those of us who spend the most time developing this site, it is our legacy.
Thanks, Joyce M. Tice
