Good afternoon Anasazi Team,
Don would like to do this event, but he needs a ride and he is willing to
give up some of his pay to get that ride.
We have a lack of scopes signed up to do this event, so having Don there is
a good idea. I see Rick and Sam are signed up to do this event.
I'd like to request that when Don sends out a request for a ride, someone
should reply and let him know if he has a ride. Your delay in answering,
delays me in preparing the invoice for that location's event. I'd
appreciate it if a quick Yes or No can be given to Don. And if you are
unsure of the pay for the ride, please confirm with him before hand so that
both of you know what price is agreed upon.
There are some events that it would be great to have a ride, and I've
mentioned to Don that he could give 1/4 of his pay to a ride, if they are
just giving him a ride there and home.
Where as, if they are actually helping at the evnet, such as when Paul
attends an event as Don's ride, I know Paul doesn't just stand around. I'm
sure he is there helping Don with the set up and take down of his scope, as
well as possibly helping to find objects, and in that case, Don should
probably offer 1/2 the pay from that event.
This is just my 2 cents, but since I've been in discussion with Don about
the situation, I think that he is making it worth the while of the one
giving the ride, especially if the ride enjoys doing the events. I know I
appreciate getting Don to and from the evnets. If he were closer to me, i'd
give him rides all the time but my time constraints prohibit my ability to
transport Don around.
The other thing I want to mention is that we are all hoping Don's eye will
heal fast so that no one has to give him a ride and as soon as that happens
and Don can be independent again, he can do more of the higher paying
events.
I just think that those of you who would give Don a ride, really need to
answer him quick enough or verify with me that Don has a ride, so that i
know how to set up the Invoices for the various evnets Don wishes to
attend. Without a ride, I can't confirm his attendance. So, please, answer
Don when he requests a ride.. just letting him know you Can't do it that
date is better than leaving him hanging, wondering if someone is availble.
I'm requesting a reply... every time. Please.
Thank you so much for helping Don. He is a vital part of the club and i
know he appreciates the rides.
Everyone have a super Thursday. Remember, ASU West is cancelled for
tonight. I don't know what we are doing about tomorrow until I hear from my
Weather Team to let me know.
And if tomorrow is cancelled, I plan to figure out what date to move Hidden
Hills to... so please look at that last email i just sent out to the Star
Tours team and let's get a new schedule date, if it comes needed.
I also appreciate eveyrone taking the time to RSVP not only a Ride for Don,
but your attendance at events. It helps me a lot if you can pop in and let
me know what your status is for that event date/time.
Have a super day!
Terri, Event Manager
Being independent is great. We all want to be independent.
But having to depend on others to transport one of our Team members to
events, is really hard on everyone. I appreciate and I"m sure Don does as
well, those who have helped Don get to where he needs or wants to go.
Thank you!
