I think 2-5 would have been good, or, have some sort of "halftime break" in the middle, for food/drink/socializing. I like how it turned out that we all got to "travel" together through the graces. It was nice to be together. Even so I think people got weary near the end. One idea is even to have GIFT be a more frequent, shorter event... perhaps a quarterly two-hour evening thing? Just some ideas!
Asking people to give up a complete saturday is always tough. If they really want to be there, they will. Maybe next time we could be less broad with a single focus on Saturday morning followed by brunch.
I like the idea of 2-5. IT seemd half the people left after the second or third room. I didn't make it to the end either. Too long and too much information. Felt disorganized and rushed.

3) When you are done typing your comment, it's time to post it! Find the field "Comment as:". There is a pull-down menu to the right of "Comment as:". Select "Name/url".

ReplyDeleteTwo to five, with 15-minute or snack/bathroom break, situated in the program in such a way that we don't "lose the house,"
