    budget cuts, AASCIN volunteers may find it difficult to participate in 
    AASCIN activities that take time from an already packed work week. If your 
    employer has concerns about your participation in AASCIN, perhaps we can 
    give them a reason (or two) to consider the benefits of volunteerism in a
