I say yes all the time.
I did get some advice at a retreat last week that might work in certain cases. They told us to find something we really wanted to do (a committee, etc.) and volunteer, and from that point forward, if anyone asked us to do something we were instructed to say, "Gee, I'd love to, but I'm already serving on X committee."
I think having a list of all that you're doing (because if you can't say no, I presume you're doing a lot), is a good thing to keep on your bulletin board to refer to.
