ICS is a big event, and much labor is required. This last week is a bit stressful for some doing the planning and details. And it is especially stressful when there is not enough help for some of the tasks.
All help is appreciated. Some people can volunteer more. Some people can pay more. Some people would really like to come and help but cannot afford either the time or the money. And some people do not see it as their responsibility to so some or any of that. Good thing we are not all alike. The world would be boring.

Perhaps I could have volunteered through the whole thing and not registered, but not with my head held high. Not when so many others HAVE paid essentially to work for free. -WaV On Sun, Jul 12, 2009 at 8:48 PM, Lyndon Tiu <[email protected]> wrote: They should be registering--and paying. No free ride here, boy howdy. I don't think anyone is getting a free ride, they are helping the ICS but are NOT getting any of the benefits of a paid ICS registration (parties, free beer, banquets, etc.). We should be glad they are giving some of their time to help the ICS for free. FYI: I am registered (I paid my $200 back in Dec 2008) ... but I think volunteers should get a free ride. But that's totally my opinion.
