According to a rather obnoxious DL commentator on another site:
[INDENT]The new campaign for 2010 will allow anyone a free ticket to Disneyland, but only after they complete a certain number of volunteer hours in their community with a Disney approved charity or nonprofit organization.[/INDENT]

I see a LOT of SGTs in our future!

Hopefully, the people who volunteer are not the type to commit SGTs. You might get people trying to fabricate proof of service, though. :mad:
My son has been volunteering at the local library this Summer and plans to continue.....more to put on his resume :)

Interesting idea. I wonder how trustworthy this individual is?

Hmmm, with all the hours I've put in as a Girl Scout Leader, they should award me not just a free ticket, but a Premium Annual Pass. Oh, wait, I don't have time to go to the park anymore because I'm either prepping for Cookie Time, in Cookie Time, or recuperating from Cookie Time. :)

Very interesting idea, though, to reward people who give back to the community. But, gosh, I bet there will be a lot of people trying to fake it!

Do you think my annual one month of repairing boats for junior sailing classes will count? :confused:

I think it's a GREAT idea for a promotion, but I already see a problem with the "Disney approved volunteer center" portion. It's not even about people "faking" it'; it's the people who legitimately volunteer (rebuilding boats, leading girl scouts, etc.) but for smaller organizations, then they come to City Hall and say, "You're telling me I volunteer 100 hours a year, but not at your 'approved' location, so my volunteer hours don't count?"

I think your support of "Single Mothers" alone is enough for a Free PAP! ;)

You'll need to have them sign your time cards, which could get interesting.
