Is It Really Volunteering?

Timber and I have been talking about going to the Sea Otter Classic for a few years and we finally decided that this was the year to go. So instead of just going we decided that we would go and volunteer. That would be a great way to attend and help out at the same time. So we contacted the volunteer coordinator and setup our volunteering adventure. We have to get there really early tomorrow morning to help get drinks and snacks ready at a feed station for one of the bike races. Oh, and they'll pay us $30 for 2.5 hours worth of work. Excuse me? I thought we were volunteering? You're telling me that I'm going get paid to help out? OK, since I wasn't expecting to be paid for the work I have to figure out something to do with the money. Should I buy a t-shirt, buy some food, put it in my retirement account, or just donate it? We'll see...
