this question brings to mind a sermon that was given by a bhuddapalian priest some years back.
he put forth the idea that in all churches- there were basically two types of people; consumers and pillars.
without going into a long discussion of how he
supported this thesis, let me put forth that he could easily have been speaking of booster clubs.
after 5 children, i can tell you that year in and year out you will see the same people in whatever booster club doing most of the work.
they volunteer to run the concession, the press
box, the scoreboard, the hamburger stand. they volunteer to get the yearly program together or sell the outfield signs or whatever needs to be done.
join or don't join. give or don't. if a feller
was joining in the hopes of getting his son some playing time, he would probably be disappointed unless the coach was some kind of a goober. yes, there are a few of those.
go for it PLANOFAN. whaddaya got to lose? trite as it is; you will get out of it what you put into it.
