Sorry to hear that Ron. I know everyone was looking forward to it. The only good thing out of this is.....I wasn't able to come so I'm not going to miss a new event to our meeting. (I know you had them before but it has been a long time). I'll have to get my soccer tournament dates aligned so I don't have to miss any meetings! Parkersburg has one soccer tournament yearly.....you guessed it 8/25 & 26! McCrady Jones Tournament.....any reefers coming this way?
I did not want to say anything since I was not able to be there this time. We have discussed this many times. The same dedicated people volunteer meeting after meeting to make it work and enjoyable for all. It is a shame more folks are unwilling to volunteer to help. Not to be mean but there is never a problem in getting a big crowd at our meetings. People come to get in on the great frag prices, awesome door prizes, and other nice prizes like the tunze powerhead.
Maybe we should get a list of volunteers and rotate them every other meeting. Say it's your responsibility to help out this month and the next meeting it's the next person's time. Rotate in and out and if you can not do your time call someone to trade with them. It's a real pain in the rear asking, and reasking to get some help! We had a volunteer sheet and many agreed to help out. I think it fell to the wayside since we took off the summer. Let's get out the info collected and revisit it to make it work out for all. Someone NEEDS to be in charge of contacting volunteers and rotating people in and out so the burden gets shared and we all enjoy the benefits.
I personally, would like to see a "Volunteer Organizer!!!
We might try it to see if we get some needed help. A couple hours donated every 120 days shouldn't be too much to ask. Just my 2 cents worth.
I love the club but it takes BOTH---work and time to make it a successful event. We were on a roll and growing fast! We spaced our meetings out to allow for friends and family time over the summer! It's time to get the meetings in high gear!
I am very disappointed I have to miss this meeting. I look forward to the success of our club and meeting with all of you next time!
