my rant

Can I rant for a minute?

Thanks for your permission. So yesterday was the deadline to signup for the Student Life Tour. I want to extend my gratitute to you who contacted me and let me know whether or not you (or your child) will be attending.

I really didn't hear from that many of you.

It's not that I think we don't have a lot of people who want to go. I pulled out my handy-dandy list of students, made some rough estimates, contacted Student Life and paid for 20 spots.

It's not that you were uninformed. I communicated this deadline: (1) in the Parent Connection Newsletter, (2) in multiple emails, (3) on my blog and (4) verbally at youth meetings.

So what's the deal?

I know that everyone is busy. Maybe I would overlook things if it weren't for the fact that this happened frequently before Katrina.

So what do I need to change? What do you need to change?

Please let me know your thoughts.
