I wonder if posting to the Rootsweb mailing lists for the specific counties might be a way to enlist new (and enthusiastic) volunteers for the organization. I know it would take some extra effort on the part of the SC. They would have to subscribe to the specific county lists in order to post -- but it might be one way to generate new members for the USGW as those who have done excellent work for years start to scale back, or think about retiring.

Hi Pat, Carla Clifton is in charge of the TX Orphan Counties and has joined all the mail lists and made a plea for volunteers.
