volunteers

our first open volunteer meeting was moved due to susie and i needing to go to CSU on tuesday instead so earlier this week i sent out an email to everyone in our volunteer database (about 45 people) telling them about the event and letting them know when and where our meeting would be.
as of today i've received ZERO replies! i'm starting to get really discouraged by this. there are four of us (polly, estefania, susie and myself) from the chapter who are really dedicated to pulling this off but that's just not enough people. i have had some of my friends volunteer to do certain things but i feel as though they are just doing it to make me happy and not really because they want to or are dedicated to the cause. which is really fine, i know not everyone will feel the way about these things as i do (although i'd really like them to!) but i'm just not sure how to get people inspired and moved into helping.
i am going to be making phone calls this weekend to the people on the volunteer list who provided phone numbers, try and inject some of my enthusiasm for the project and room to read as an organization.
