To stage one of these great exhibitions, stamp collec-tors and stamp dealers, hundreds of them, subscribe afund to launch the affair. Then each gives up an enor- mous amount of time—often extending over two years—serving on committees necessary to stage the event. Moreoften than not this voluntary service involves consider-able financial sacrifice, even direct out of pocket ex-pense, for none of which are the volunteers reimbursed.To complete the picture these same workers turn aroundand pay their own admission to the show, pay dues intothe sponsoring society, and, when the occasion demands,make outright donations. |
