I don't know about you, but I think regulating kitchen help will pretty much 
drive away our volunteers. I don't mind training them, but I would balk at a 
"Formal" written up authorization. 

I'd hate the paperwork. I'd hate the process. I'd hate the interference. 
Besides, you would draw up the rules? The Bod???

Err...no.

(There used to be a lovely site near the Hudson River and Westpoint 
overlooking the Bear Mountain Bridge. It was common sense that one did not 
lean to far over, or one would topple down the mountain.... Someone didn't 
have that common sense, he fell. Enter the regulatory commitee from NY and 
now it is not only ILLEGAL to look out there, but the HUGE fence they built 
on the mountain no longer allows for that view....)

Give someone the power to regulate something that is working but requires 
common sense, and the end result is that it won't work, and we lose a chance 
to teach someone what common sense really is!

Don't authorize them. Teach them!!
