Recently, as a tribute to my father, I have been searching for a way to combine my interests with my father's legacy of philanthropy. Thanks to some input from Denny, I believe I have found a cause: I am going to plan a charity zombie walk in the Lafayette/ West Lafayette, IN area. I have a thousand ideas in mind, but now comes the difficult part: the actual planning. I need to form a committee, but I always fear committees--what if I am displaced as the organizer, and the charity angle is lost. This fear likely comes from always being picked last at sports as a child. I do not wish to sound petty, but this is my idea and my chance to make a difference. I do not wish to turn away helpful individuals, but I also do want to see my vision of this event come to life.
I'm not sure how to go about asserting control (as it were) in a situation such as this. Do I sound like an ass, or am I just being paranoid?
