...I agree. But I have also found that there are some faithful  ladies 
that will help you do what ever you want them to do, "no matter what".

me: I certainly had a "chuckle" over the "unofficial cleanup committee"
comment. It *surely* must be written somewhere in the "Ladies Auxiliary 
Handbook" that the Ladies leaders are the "first to arrive and the last to 
leave". I don't have any scripture to substantiate that, but it surely is
the "gospel" according to some! I too, have thanked the Lord on **many**
occasions for the "faithful few". It really used to bother me (the lack of
desire in some to help, but their quickness to comment/complain) until one
day in prayer when I asked the Lord to help me overcome these 
feelings. When I find my "old" feelings start to rise, I just say "Lord,
help me to keep a good attitude **and**  a right spirit" and if it's not
too much to ask, please give an extra special blessing to those who 
cared enough to come out.    

We will have to privately e-mail each other and exchange fund-raising
ideas, etc., as I am sure the men on this list have no interest in such
matters. So, Ladies leaders, and those that faithfully support us and 
make our jobs *so*  much easier, let's get together and share "what 
"works" for you in your local church".
