Thanks, friends, for all the helpful insight. There's no way I could manage to do as much as S did solo, but I am not beating myself up over it. She is one in a million and has grown the group from scratch, gradually adding new activities as the group has enlarged. I realize that I would have to have help. I just talked to her about sitting down together to write out all the things she does and then I can try to chop it into smaller bits that I can assign or request volunteers to fill. The parents in this group are very helpful and I don't think there will be any problem filling posts. It's not like cub scouts, where every year we'd beg and plead for helpers and the same half dozen people would always end up doing all the work.
My heart tells me that I want to give it a try. But I am also trying to listen to my head, which is something I often neglect to do! I'll let you know how things progress.
