I need some help fellow Hoggers! Last weekend I photographed an event for a non-profit organization. I did not charge them as this was a community event sponsored by an organization I would like to become further involved with on a volunteer basis. Apparently they liked the images and have invited me to join their Public Relations Committee. It's a good cause.

The Web director send the following email to me this morning. Can anyone enlighten me as to what a "BLT" is?
I don't want to sound more stupid than I am.

For context the email read as follows:
"I'm going to post those photos on our blog this morning. I thought I would offer those individual photos to the folks who were in the parade if they email the BLT. Is that OK?"

WOW, Good for you, donate your time and talent to an organization you believe in is admirable :thumbup:

What really amazes me is some of the responses to your thread. You are VOLUNTEERING, why would anyone even think of being PAID :shock: :?: :?: Doesn't matter what you donate, when you donate you are not looking for anything in return, well maybe a Thanks, a smile, a pat on the back is enough. What you will receive is a feeling that I contributed to something I believe in, I hope it did some good- no matter how small.

As a society are we getting so hungry for money that we have forgotten about being good neighbors.

What is the going rate for volunteering anyhow? I wonder if some of the people on this thread would expect money for helping a stranger boost their car?

You will receive no greater reward for your actions the one that comes from within- Ya I can help.

You my friend are a keeper- Well done ;) ;)

Wikipedia=Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity where an individual or group provides services for no financial gain. Volunteering is also renowned for skill development, and is often intended to promote goodness or to improve human quality of life. Volunteering may have positive benefits for the volunteer as well as for the person or community served.[1] It is also intended to make contacts for possible employment. Many volunteers are specifically trained in the areas they work, such as medicine, education, or emergency rescue. Others serve on an as-needed basis, such as in response to a natural disaster.

If you donate a loaf of bread to the food bank do you tell the reciprocant how to toast it?

Swede :wink: :wink:
