The Big Ask

I'm so proud of Rob. We just had lunch together where he filled me in that he has gathered enough volunteers to staff two teams to rotate for Saturday setup. The calendar and rotation schedule will be out soon. Rob seized on one of the key principles of leadership of volunteers. The bottom line is no matter how many times you say to a large group of people, "we need your help." The only way you really gather help is to ask one on one. He showed up yesterday with a note pad and started asking people. He was really pleased to get 8 new volunteers and I'm proud of him and our volunteers.

Great job, Rob!
