It's hard to know how to attract particular groups of people but there are in fact a lot of younger women who love the idea of cooking, knitting, etc. I think a surprising number might enjoy the WI but it does need something to bring them in. Well, that is where my bright ideas grind to a halt, since it is a matter of agreeing on a way of attracting Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-1996923238650955352015-04-09T01:19:30.788+01:002015-04-09T01:19:30.788+01:00You can please some of the people some of the time...You can please some of the people some of the time....you know the saying.<br /><br />Frankly, dearheart, I'd say it's good leadership to look at the whole and not just the random noise maker. Make note, keep moving. That's what I find myself doing in any organization. That's why there's a mission statement. It keeps us focused amidst the grumblings of others.<br />It'Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-19550639498752975252015-04-08T23:41:02.228+01:002015-04-08T23:41:02.228+01:00I think me and Joe are in the same position but ob...I think me and Joe are in the same position but obviously he's doing a better job with it than I am. :)troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-54246520015616394512015-04-07T16:22:24.976+01:002015-04-07T16:22:24.976+01:00Hi Ron.

The things we have to do, eh!<br /><br />I hadn't considered the contrariness of people, it's the same here. When changes are proposed the people go berserk. You would think they'd been given the death penalty sometimes.

And I know and feel your frustration because even though I don't belong to a specific institute, the city in which I live, is very much like the WI - it always talks about wanting change but then when our city's mayor MAKES a change, everyone resists it (or Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-43375408575352779642015-04-06T18:16:24.422+01:002015-04-06T18:16:24.422+01:00Trying to please so many people sounds like a majo...Trying to please so many people sounds like a major challenge Valerie.
