I was VP of our local atheist org - we had between 50-100 people who showed up physically throughout the year, and over 1000 FB members.
I got us 501c3 status, and we now have an annual budget of 5k. We're legit. We were going to start working on a charity fund, even.
But while sacrifices of time and money were things I was willing to make, lately it's been a sacrificing of people I care about as they react to me being VP instead of just their friend. And some might say that I should dismiss people who can't respect it, but I'm tired of the drama. My personal life is so chaotic right now that I can't deal with it and give my friends and the group my full consideration.
I just sort of want to go away for a while.
