Dedicated volunteers at Ryerson at Eleven thirty last night helping to insure things run smoothly at Midnight MadnessI briefly read something in a lesser paper whose writer was critical of volunteers and went on to write
"Instead, volunteers shouted for donors to come forward. Even when none
did, we were left standing -- such as the high school history teacher
and his wife standing behind me in line. With no information. When we
asked for guidance, we were dismissed rudely by TIFF staff."
The volunteers I have met are helpful, dedicated and very polite. In fact at Midnight Madness many of us know our volunteers by name!
In case some of my fellow writers in this city forgot what indeed the word volunteer means I leave you with this from
dictionary.com
