According to “365 Ideas for Recruiting, Retaining, Motivating, and Rewarding Your Volunteers,” by Sunny Fader, best volunteers have some or all of the following ten traits:
 1. An ability to get along with people
 2. A cheerful disposition
 3. Patience
 4. Self-motivation
 5. Flexibility
 6. Organizational skills
 7. Dedication
 8. Reliability
 9. Attention to detail
10. A sense of humor
My conclusion; good volunteers are good people.
Or is it a bit of a stretch?
