I volunteer to do this to give back to the community.

It was a volunteer position and that was her whole life, it would take someone who had that time to commit (to replace her), or it would take a lot of different people getting together who have little bits of time that could work together, because it was done so hugely. That made me think that it's important for people to step up and try to do what they can do for Variety to continue that, and to bring it into focus so the contributions continue to keep coming in.

We get no government money; we rely on volunteer donation.

Everyone is volunteer! Ask the breeze, the trees, the honey bees.

It's really a place for anybody whether you're in the community and you want an update on the project or you are buying or locating or whatever that's going to be the place to go.

One contingency from our (Dec. 12 meeting) minutes is to have an all-volunteer staff to handle (the shelter).
