Who has time for all that. I used to be a manager of a fishing club but gave it up. I realy am not the orginization type I much prefer to make my way through life alone and not part of a group mold. I do have friends and very close ones but they are about as strange as I am and for the most part except for a fishing club here, hunting or 4 wheeling club there we are loners.

Yet another loner here...<br /><br />When I was a kid I was a cub scout...<br /><br />Did coach Little League T-Ball for a while but the parents got too crazy to suit me.... "Come on people it's just a kids T-Ball GAME!" got to be a regular reminder....<br /><br /> The funny part is that the kids did'nt care if they won or lost and most of the time they did'nt even know if they won or lost... All they new was they got a free Coke when the game was over...LOL...

I coached an all girls (12yrs) softball team this past summer, does that count? Boy do they cry, for the littlest things, quite funny.

Re: Affiliations/Organizations/Clubs/Societies

I belong to the teamsters, local 1298 truck drivers. Does that count? And being that I have raised 3 daughters, numerous related things. ie: ball team coach and/or manager. "DO Dad" and others.

Re: Affiliations/Organizations/Clubs/Societies

Does court-ordered community service count? Just kidding.<br /><br /> I volunteer a couple times a month at a golf workshop for kids.<br /><br /> I have unofficially been voted as the neighborhood "fishing buddy" for all my kids' friends. You ever try to fish out of a 16' Alumacraft with 5 ten-year-olds? So many bobbers in the water around the boat, I could spring a leak and they'd work like salvage bags. Peter said it best when he said "if you bring kids fishing, you'd better not plan on doing any fishing yourself".
