Actually. I don't think volunteers here in TV can deny membership to anyone because of fees. Or seek reimbursement for their time in any way. I could be wrong. They can and do sell supplies and sometimes at a profit. I am sure that I am like most and very much appreciate our teaching volunteers. We try to gather a cash gift a couple of times a year for anyone who wishes to anonymously contribute to a couple of wonderful women who impart knowledge and humor to us weekly.
