Yes, it's that time of year once again! I understand that we are all in the same boat right now but please do not forget that we do have things to be thankful for. I for one am very thankful the the elections are over and I'll be more thankful when the next couple of months go by and our history making president elect has firmly planted his feet in the white house. I'm also very thankful for the clients I have and the clients I will have in the coming year. ~HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE~

How many times have you hired someone to do a job and thought that you had hired the right person, told them what you wanted in detail and understood that they understood, just to get slapped in the face with horrible work! Then you ask them to please do it over because you are paying really good money for this crap work and you'd like them to be compareable. they agreee that the work is pretty shabby and agree to do the work over only to have the do over crappy as well.

I tell ya, it doesn't matter if I hire some Joe Blow for $8.00 an hr. or a person who is lisenced, bonded and insured! I seem to get the same work done, do these people come out and see sucker written on my face or what?

I say that we start hiring by the job and if we don't get quality work they don't get paid for the labor.

This is my first year being involved with this committee and they are wonderful folks. I can't believe all of the time, thought, energy, dedication and just plain love that all of these folks put into this event. They do it all so that the local folks can have a day of celebration.

So, my position within the group is Youth Activity Coordinator. OK I say, I mean really! How hard can that be, after all I have an extensive background in event planning for one of the largest casino's in Oregon.

SOS - HELP - IS ANYBODY OUT THERE????? LOL :<D JUST KIDDING....

I do need some volunteers though and if you do any prospecting in the Independence, Monmouth, Dallas area at all this is a great way to say hello to the locals.

I have 2 hour shifts available between 3 and 6 on Friday, Sat. and Sunday. We will be under a big tent, we will have a big water cooler and chairs. The activity's are simple face apinting, story telling and on Sunday we'll have a stick horse pee-wee rodeo.

Happy Trails...
