Volunteers:
Sedalia was only my second National. I volunteered this time (twice...got my collectible black macho security T-shirt!) and will do it again. But it struck me that the National rally is so professionally run that many younger/ first time rally attendees may not recognize the need for all those unsung volunteeers behind the scene. (I've been a director in a small local chapter, and there everything revolves around the volunteers. The black "volunteer" buttons handed out at rally registration were a start, but maybe going to a single color volunteer shirt...same color with subgroup printed on the back?...would also make it more apparent that the rally absolutely relies on the hundreds of volunteers.
