In the Northern Ca. area, I found out that a festival (which had died) was re-invented to re-start and now it's been cancelled-AGAIN?? The irony is that the folks, had they made some minor adjustments a couple of years ago, The "Fun" weekend would be alive and well.
This is an example of why I get so worried that in the U area, I hear things like "our attendance is dropping we're going to have to fold" NONSENSE- Anything that draws over 1000 dancers in todays arena is doing something right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also have heard (In this particular festival the clubs share work, and benefit financially from the revenue) That ....and I quote "The Club who swept the floors folded- Our club is not doing it-we'll quit"- Sad but true.
I suggest that 1) the floor sweeping duty gets doled out to all clubs but if it's an issue that can't be reconciled 2) Have a scout troop, 4H, FFA or other youth group do it for a $500 donation .(That would actually be cheaper for the budget, help the youth and allow the folks to "do what they've done in the duty department"
I've seen so many weekends go away, so many clubs go away-often for complicated responses to simple fixes.
It is still about the Square Dancing? Right?

The club that folded that swept the floors never had a problem with doing that job. They were more than happy to have that job. They did not close or "quit" because they did not want to sweep the floors - you are way off base here.

ReplyDeleteYou can't have anything simple, it all needs a lawyer to supervise to cut the Peanut Butter Sandwich in half by a professional Sandwich Cutter.
Not like the old days when one kid cut and the other got first pick of which half!
