As a chapter president, I have to chime in on this subject. First, I agree that the individual mentioned was probably a District Director. That position is an unpaid position. Secondly, almost every chapter president I have ever talked to experiences the same problem.....everyone can tell you how to run a chapter better than you do, but never volunteers to do anything to help the situation. I would be willing to be that most chapters would tell you the same thing...they only have about 8-10 people who show up at meetings and out of those 8-10 people you only have 2-3 who do ALL of the work! Do you have any idea how hard it is to organize a banquet with the help of three people? I finally got tired of people telling me how to run the chapter better by simply asking them "Does that mean you're volunteering to chair that project?" You should see the "deer in the headlights look" I get...."You mean you want me to do something for the chapter?" "Well....uh....I don't have the time." As for our chapter, I think I will require no altering of raffle pieces i.e, cards, tickets, etc or the piece is disqualified. I'd like to suggest that instead of complaining about this stuff, why don't you join the committee and be part of the solution to make it better. Oh by the way, most of your committees (Pres, VP, Sec, Treas) have wives, kids, careers, and a personal life on top of the time they invest into the NWTF as VOLUNTEERS. Even as a chapter president, when it comes to my priorities admittedly the NWTF doesn't always come in first. As far as committee and active chapter members being restricted to participating in the auctions...why should the people who do all the work for turkey conservation, chapter volunteer work, etc, etc not be allowed to participate?
