Hell Day a.k.a. Annual Membership Meeting is over. There is so much planning that goes into this event it is unbelieveable. Thank God Joanie and I both have a natural talent for planning events. Everything went well dispite the fact that we had half the man power we normaly have. It was a very sucessful day.
Funny story though...this just proves no matter how well you plan and no matter how many years you do an event things will happen.
Timeline:
January 2-Call sandwich company to order 750 ham and cheese poboys for January 30.
January 16-Confirm poboy order
January 25-Confirm poboy order again and delivery information
2:30 January 29-Phone call from sandwich company.
SC:What is the latest we can deliver your poboys?
AA:7:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.
SC:Well we only have enough bread for 200 sandwiches. Can we deliver later?
AA:No this order was placed 4 weeks ago and confirmed twice. They have to be here no later than 7:30 am
SC:OK we will see what we can do.
Now panic breaks out of the office. We are in a situation we have no control over. Forntuately the sandwiches did arrive on time the next morning. Yeah!
