Thursday was certainly a strange twist from the previous week, considering our numbers went from seven to two. I think there were about ten of us from CU, including Debra, and this was obviously a failure of recruiting. Three students supposedly could not go because they were leaving soon, but our numbers should be sustainable enough that missing a couple kids occasionally basically devastates the day’s plans. I, like several others, ended up leaving early because having 5 times the number of CU people to Casey students would have been exceptionally overwhelming and not exactly useful. Hopefully this issue can be corrected this week, but I feel that we really need to work on recruiting because, as Debra said, it’s not worth all of our time if nobody is going to come to our Thursday meeting, and cutting out Thursday is not really an option (the two students who came can only come that day, and most of the CU students are limited to Thursday). This is a serious problem that can be rectified by merely bringing more students next time, which I believe is very doable. By following Debra’s suggestion of sending a few students to recruit during school on Wednesday morning, we could easily find a few students who might be willing to try it out after actually meeting someone and putting a face to the program. If not, we can certainly show up a little early Thursday and walk around for some “spot-recruiting” as we can. I certainly hope we can find a solution and make Thursday a productive and useful part of the Casey Design Club afterschool program.
