Volunteering Kilted

[Riverkilt]

So, I'm guessing a lot of the rabble here are volunteers and that many of us volunteer kilted.

I know Ham volunteers kilted.

Volunteering kilted gives us a chance to "Show the kilt" and hey, chances are whomever needs our free services isn't gonna turn us away.

I usually donate blood kilted.



I volunteer on the Board of Directors of our local domestic violence service agency.....usually kilted.



Not sure its true "volunteering" but often march kilted in our local 4th of July and Veteran's Day parades.



Saw a post where a guy showed up as a kilted volunteer to pass out water at a marathon. What a great idea to "Show the kilt."

So, how about you guys?

Well I have done a few small things charity wise. I have a Diabetes walk this fall I plan to do kilted, and much more to come!

In some of my volunteering circles, I am known as the Kilted volunteer.

As many of you know I am a vollenteer Docent at the Royal BC Museum.

Here I am in in "The Pole Gallery" giving one of my talks.



When I go into the Museum I am usually greeted by "Here's Steve in his swooning attire".

I volunteer almost everyday in a variety of different positions at my children's school. My favorite one is without a doubt as a library assistant.

So there are 600 elementary school kids in Northern California that are aware of and accept the kilt as no biggie

I did make a bit of a splash yesterday as I wasn't feeling too well and had to help out a our Spring Faire, so I dressed in dockers and a polo shirt.

but seriously, Jamie, good on you for volunteering at your children's school. It's not only great for the school, it's great for your kids to see you doing it.

I volunteer on my local preserved railway line the Pontypool and Blaenafon Railway.

Usually it's in the ticket office or working in the on train buffet or the tea room and for these I am ALWAYS kilted.

Must get some photos taken!

I walked the NAMI Walk kilted, but the comment I got most often was, "Love the get-up!" Something about the phrase "get-up" got under my skin. The morning was saved by a nice older lady who came over, extended her hand and introduced herself as "Carol Morfitt, Clan Murray." I knew her comments would a little more...enlightened.

Perhaps they meant nothing offensive, but it has always bothered me, too. Something about the phrase makes me think the speaker considers the garb of the listener to be a "costume" and not a "real" outfit.
