Most of us do it, in part to give back to the Villagers, but also as something to do.
Being home 24/7 quickly got tiring for me. I enjoy going in to work a few days a week. The physical work can at times be hard. After parties having to put away dozens of tables, perhaps hundreds of chairs, perhaps audi and visual equipment and more. What staff shortage does is put more demands on the remaining staff members. Improving the hourly rate would certainly help with staff retention and perhaps attract other part time retirees to the job and away from Publix, Sam's Club and others.

I am rehabbing a shoulder right now, but I might like to give this a shot in the future. Sounds like a good thing to do for the community, the wallet, and for a little socialization to boot.
