7) I've donated many hours of my own time to the local wmas. To the point last season I was given the opportunity to come on as a seasonal employee so that I could legally operate equipment and help further. It's a small but I feel worthy cause. I guess I mentioned this to illustrate I'm "walking the walk" rather that merely "talking the talk."
Could you elaborate on this more... what is a seasonal employees an what equipment could you operate?[/quote]
Volunteers aren't allowed to operate equipment (trucks/ tractors/ backhoes/ boats/ etc) freely and without supervision due to liability issues I can only assume. But, a seasonal position was available (due to losing a full-time employee just before the busy season). I came on as a seasonal employee, essentially just signed the paperwork to cover insurance stuff. I'm assuming a lot because I really don't know- I just know that enabled me to help more with running tractors and not having to use my own boat to help with river work.
