May I offer some uninvited advice?

From someone who does not take stress well, no amount of good you can do volunteering for a good cause is worth the drain on your emotions if you are in a fragile state. You said you are not handling pressure well lately, I think when one is at that point, their body is saying 'hey, take it easy, I need to catch up' and it should be listened to. It is nice to volunteer, but it is more responsible to take care of your own well being first and when that is in order, then you will be more productive on every front and could possibly do more than you could right now for the committee. I do believe your best course of action you stated already, think more about it

Thanks... any advice is always welcome. I still haven't decided what to do and the meeting is this Wed. I need to make up my mind quick. ;)
