Response to "last minute" request

Some observations that are worth noting...

First, this team has a habit of not responding to posts that request assistance or presence at an event. They simply show up, which, by itself is a good thing, but in the grand scheme of things, isn't a desirable characteristic. What happens is that the organizer of the event can't adequately plan it with regard to staffing, thus the planner is relegated to last minute changes to accomodate those who do show up. We really need to fix this...

Mrs. Reich put out a message on the group as a test to see just who reads them and take action upon the request. This one was pretty simple... reply, and receive a chocolate bar. There were a good number of replies, but the disappointing thing was there were few rookie respondants. Hopefully, those who didn't read and respond to the post will learn.

Anyway, last night, we spent about 2 hours resetting the hallway storage closet. When the announcement was made on Tuesday, a few couldn't make it because of prior commitment and so stated that. Two veterans and a rookie showed up, which turns out to have been just the right number. Work proceeded at a brisk, but unhurried pace and we were able to put the closet back into shape in less than 2-1/2 hours.

All in all, a profitable night...

This is going to be an awesome season...
