I found this on Dusters site and thought everyone should read it. This is almost the same speech he gave at Rumbletown in 99. It is what got me inspired to do something for the sport. I hope it will do the same for you.
WHO ARE YOU??
Keep your head down and never volunteer!! Those were words to live by in my Marine Corp days, but stop to think where disc sports would be without volunteers. Yep, we'd all be sitting on our duffs watching Tiger Woods make himself into a multi-millionaire.
Volunteers have taken disc sports to the edge of mainstream sports nationally. Volunteers have placed new courses at our disposal all over the state and more "Dream Courses" are to come. Volunteers past and present have built and maintained courses, are working together effectively as clubs, doing community service work in schools and with youth groups.
Through volunteering, people are making names for themselves and embedding those names in the history of disc sports (locally, statewide and nationally). You can get to know people through leagues & tournaments, but when you volunteer, people get to know you!!
Do something for yourself today - volunteer to help disc sports grow. Recognize that this is and always will be an important part of your life. I'm not asking you to do anything you are not capable of, I'll not ask you to do more than you have time for. Understand that a heavy load becomes lighter when it is shared and best of all, people will get to know you!! Duster
