[Eagleprojects] Robbie's Project

[Bruce Winston]

Hi Amy -
    This is Robin... Bruce is away for the evening.

    The idea of putting out midweek reminders was actually my mother's idea, and it didn't occur to her until a few days before the initial dropoff of bags.  Michael  wanted to recruit people to help distribute the reminders; but since this occurred right before school let out for winter break, and end-of-unit tests loomed in front of everyone, he failed to gather any troops.  So... Bruce, Michael and I covered the whole territory ourselves.  That added up to about 530 homes, and we did it in under 3 hours.  All three of us had a great cardiovascular workout!
:-)

  Hi Bruce,

  Did Michael drop of the written reminder to all of those people by himself?  That would be 500 houses.  Just curious.

    Robin and I have read Robbie's proposal carefully.  It looks well thought out and feasible.  We do, however, have some concerns:

    (a) The location -- the Culver Crest was "hit" on three occasions in the last four months (Michael Winston's food drive, a Girl Scout Gold Award project, and our troop's spaghetti dinner ticket sales).  While this may not be a problem, it still merits some thought... possibly a shift to another part of Culver City?

    (b) Knocking on doors -- this can be annoying, and/or perceived as an intrusion on people's privacy.  Michael's experience tells us that a letter of explanation attached to the bag, plus a mid-week written reminder, worked well.  If the deliverers happen to talk to a homeowner, this is fine... but it is neither expected nor required, because the cover letter explains everything.  If Robbie decides to go with "personal contact," he should keep in mind that Scouts who participate should be in Class A uniform and display Class A behavior.  (This is sometimes a challenge.)

    Please don't take this as severe criticism -- just as suggestions for consideration.  We think it's an excellent idea for a project.  

    Bruce and Robin Winston
