Next WOW 2nd Saturday of the Month!! Or is this Abilene?
We've been having the WOW on the Second Saturday because that's usually a good day for everyone. However sometimes we have conficting schedules...
For example: August 11th is the second Saturday of August 2007. However there is a party that day. If you would like to attend the party please let me know. We're flexible.
Over the Summer everyone is out on vacation, travel, a party, or at the pool. Maybe Saturday is not the best day. Please let me know when you'd be available to attend a WOW.
Sara spoke a while back about the Road to Abilene and I found a book called "The Abilene Paradox and Other Meditations on Management".[link]
One comment on the Amazon site regarding the book says a lot: "The Abilene Paradox essay talks about a family vacation to Abilene. Nobody really wants to go there, but everyone thinks everyone else wants to go there, but is affraid to speak up. The lesson is self evident, but the story conveys it in a manner much more memorable than a directive to 'Create an organization with open communication'"
That's the point - "open communication". I don't want the 2nd Saturday to be "The Road to Abilene". Of course in the land of UU's [Unitarian Universalist] where cat's are herded, and points and opinions debated, you can tell you're on the Road to Abilene when no one shows up. On a few occasions, I've spent a quiet 2nd Saturdays at the property, a really wonderful thing to do, waiting for the WOW -- no not Godot. The WOW. Sometimes a bunch of people show up and sometimes no one shows up; ya never know.
[Please note: With all due respect, there is in fact a UU Fellowship in Abilene Tx. Unfortunately, ironically or coincidentally, it appears their link is broken.]
Maybe we should have the WOW after Sunday service.
I'll send out an Evite and if you can respond with an alternative day and time that you can meet for a WOW that would be great. I send out an Evite so we can get an idea of how many people will attend.
At Orientation we listen to you, we tell you about UU in general and Sugarloaf in particular, and we share stories of our spiritual journeys.
Before, during, or after you attend a WOW, we encourage you to get involved and to join a Sugarloaf Circle.
Remember: Multiple Mentors & Friends Found at Sugarloaf WOW's & Circles!
