CaleyD, I agree with a great many of your posts, which more often than not show good sense so I am surprised at this attack on Highland Cop. This person appears to be in a position of hands on contact in his/her domain yet is not aware of any real interconnection between the Club and that domain, which means that somehow the great work you talk of is not getting through to that particular population. Food for thought dont you think? perhaps a bit of liaison between both parties could well be enlightening.
I fully understand your frustrations having done a great deal of voluntary work in my young to middleaged years and realise just what you are saying but perhaps the saying you quoted could have a few words added i. e. But the lord may need a little bit of help himself.
Carry on the good work but always keep an open mind.
