Volunteerism is contagious. Place a conservative advertisement in your local paper asking people to come forward for more information about your group and your services. You'll be amazed at what the general public doesn't know about you. Recruiting a good volunteer is not an overnight project. It takes time but the final result is that you'll be building a better, stronger organization capable of doing the things your charter says your capable of doing.
Volunteers are special people looking for special occasions to serve special people.
