[CV Block Leaders] Thank you!

[Jeni Spevak]

Hello Block Leaders!
 
I have a question for all of you, and would appreciate a response from each
of you as soon as possible. I know that we are all very busy people, but I
am disappointed that I did not see more of you at the Luau Party on April
29th. Some of you told me you could not make it, either in advance or close
to the event, but there were more who had RSVP'd to come but did not make
it. It was a wonderful party and I would have liked to share it with all of
you.
 
My Americorps training tells me that I can not say thank you enough to our
wonderful volunteers. The work you are doing in the community is so
necessary, and I would like to have one more event in July to show our
appreiciation for your time and effort. I am considering a week-night dinner
or Sunday brunch at a local restaurant, but I need to know if you will come.
I have a small amount of grant money to use to organize this event, and can
seek donations as well.
 
My question is, do you want to be thanked? Do you want to come to a dinner
or brunch in recognition of your efforts? I feel like momentum for this
program is going to the block level, which is great, but the last meeting I
held only 6 block leaders attended. There are technically 29 block leaders
now, with varying levels of activity. Those who attended the last meeting
did not feel that an appreciation event was appropriate, or that they even
wanted to attend. I certainly do not want to organize an event if noone will
come! 
 
Please let me know what your preference is. If coming to an event like this
is not your cup of tea, let me know. I will look to use the grant money for
other uses. If I get an overwhelming response of interest, I am willing to
do as much work as necessary to give you all an amazing meal in appreciation
of all your hard work. It's up to you!
 
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me,
