If that is your answer, then I submit that you don't get it.

It is the responsibility of the CORSA Board to pull this together, not 
wait for a volunteer to do it.  We have had way too much of the CORSA 
Board waiting/hoping that a volunteer will magically appear to do any 
number of things that need to be done.  The Board needs to be active -- 
to set goals, outline plans, identify potential promotional 
opportunities, make budgets, assemble needed materials, and, yes, 
recruit volunteers to perform defined tasks.

If you are just going to wait and hope that volunteers appear to do it 
all, then at best you are going to get what you got this past year with 
Pete -- a project undertaken without Board approval or budgeting.  At 
best.  You got lucky with Pete; he was responsible and dedicated.

If you want someone to volunteer, then you have to tell people what it 
is you want done and what resources are available to them.
