what am I doing here?

I am part of a network group that gets together once a month to promote pet sitting in our local area. For some insane reason we decided last year to raise money for a charity. Not that this is not a good cause, but the thing the other people seem to not realize is --- that when people don't get paid for their work - other things take more importance to them and getting anyone to volunteer to do something becomes almost impossible. So tonight I am sitting at this meeting and there should be 12 of us and there are 5. It becomes clear very fast that two of them are running the show, two are giving ideas that aren't being listened to and there I sit - wondering why I gave up watching American Idol to be there. Still, I kept asking myself - "what am I doing here?" --- Still it is for a good cause....
