QUESTIONS

• Do you regularly volunteer your time for a charitable cause?

  asked by a SkinnyScoop member, 10 responses

  A SkinnyScoop member commented: The main way I volunteer my time is that I sit on two boards - Stanford Business School and (even nearer & dearer to my heart) Women's Initiative which provides low-income women with the training, funding and ongoing support to start their own business and become economically self-sufficient. Both causes involve board meeting, other events and plenty of fundraising. I also do volunteer for both of my children's schools but I put that in a different bucket.

• Are you looking for a fun and easy way to fundraise?

  asked by a SkinnyScoop member, 2 responses

  A SkinnyScoop member commented: I sit on my daughter's preschool's development committee as well as the board of a national non-profit. We are always looking for ways to fundraise more money in a more efficient manner.

• How many hours per month do you devote to volunteer work?

  asked by a SkinnyScoop member, 19 responses

  A SkinnyScoop member commented: It comes in chunks as I sit on two non-profit boards. Some months I have close to 15+ hours but some its more like 3-5 hours.

• SlutWalks (http://yhoo.it/iO2zuj) where women protest for the right to wear what they want w/out sexual harassment - Good or Bad Idea?

  asked by a SkinnyScoop member, 17 responses

  A SkinnyScoop member commented: I find the idea that I need to defend the right to wear what I want to wear offensive.

• I'm trying to spread the word about fundraising for a non-profit I'm starting.What are some ways I can get the word out effectively?

• How do you feel about the Golden Gate Mothers Group excluding all men, even gays with children? See http://nyti.ms/dT1Kg9.

  asked by a SkinnyScoop member, 59 responses

  A SkinnyScoop member commented: I appreciate SkinnyScoop's look at many sides here. I'd add that supporting men being involved in parenting is pretty pro-woman, and that excluding them continues to send the message that parenting is primarily a woman's job. Someone just started a new, inclusive group that you can join here: http://www.bigtent.com/groups/sfpg
