I'm always totally impressed by the number of hours you give to volunteer work. No one else I have ever known can make a new city their own like you can, and you usually do it by volunteering in several capacities/areas almost as soon as you arrive. I am with you on the 'please donate' requests. We are inundated all the time. Dropped a 'friend' off FB because, after she visited my home and saw my mineral collection, she made a snotty remark on FB about "maybe you should spend some of the money you spend on minerals and give to..... etc." Bloody hell!!! One of the groups she mentioned is on my regular giving list and has been for 20 years. The GD women barely knows me and was making erroneous judgment calls. ENJOY. Do you zombie run and have a blast. You are accountable to no one and, you are right, it just always isn't about the damn money.
