I did not feel bad paying $40 for my wife to sit at my table and take money from people even though she had little interest in cans at that the time and I saw little of the money she got. She initially was just there as a helper (I had a large U-haul and a truck with a trailer) but stuck around once the feeding frenzy started. The Portland Canvention though DID peak her interest in starting a "girly-girl" collection of cans....mostly micros that she had a blast picking up at the Canvention and they are now on the wall of her office. (about 40 so far...now if I can just get her into flats.....) Even the son started a Marvel Character soda collection from pickups at the Portland Canvention and had a blast in the Rusty Bunch can dump. I don't remember if I had to pay for him or not, but either way it was all money well spent on both of them. :smt023

That's great but she was helping YOU. That's not the point of the thread or the complaint. These volunteers are helping the BCCA and then being told to pay to accompany their family members into the same function they had given their time to help.
