If you sign up to volunteer you should expect a phone call. However, as I stated earlier, if you are genuine in your desire to help, DON'T WAIT TO BE CALLED, take the initiative and call before being called. I think you would be surprised at how delighted PTA and school staff would be to have you beat them to the punch. I know that in past years PTA has had a "Volunteer Co-ordinator" and this position is used by many of the non-profit groups in which I am invlolved. However, imagine the numerous phone calls that this one person must make and how disheartening it is be to continually turned down with each phone call when trying to "staff" an event by contacting indviduals who have previously expressed an interest to serve. I know from personal experience that you reach a saturation point and believe that you will be unable to "recruit" anyone to help. That is why I believe that if you are able to help with a project then call ahead and let it be known that you are available to help. Just sitting by the phone does not accomplish anything.
