Chamber members need to volunteer at center

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Dear editor:

I would like to know if anyone from the Chamber of Commerce has ever turned their hand at volunteering at the visitors center.

To see what goes on--learn where anything is, what the volunteers do.

Before, they put their high and mighty plans into action, see what the one who has to order things does, and try to keep enough saleable things on hand.

Before you get you head to high in the clouds, come down to earth and see what everyone does working at the visitors center.

We are proud of the center and would hate to see anything change. Because someone thinks he or she has better ideas than those who have worked here for years.

Please! Come down to earth, before you destroy everything that many have built up over the years.

We serve over 3,000 people a year. We volunteers are dedicated to keeping the center open, seven days a week. That is why, we received our recent award for Best Visitor's Center of 2009 for the entire state of Idaho.
