dear fi and all others who are possible candidates for 
godsquad,

i could be wrong, but i think this is the first time in a 
long time, that we ahve not had people easily offer their 
time to be aprt of godsquad. therefore things will obviously 
be done differnelty than in the apst.

there is no-one left in the community who has had a lot of 
experience with godsquad, or knows everything that has to be 
done. in the past, godsquad leader is an older member of the 
community, who has stepped back from being on team due to 
their length of time in community. this person has usually 
godsquadded on a number of weekends before.

i can't see that it would be a good idea to make someone 
godsquad leader that doesn't know whats going on.

it seems to have come to a point where none of the recently 
ex-members of antioch have the time to spare to make godsquad 
run in the way it has in the past. hence mary and gats are 
looking at a new way of doing things. perhaps in the past 
godsquad issues were worked out by the parents and not by 
leaders, but things are changing. now things that leaders 
used to do are ebing done by general team, things that robbie 
used to do are now mostly going to be done by team, and 
obviously the leaders are doing some things that they didn't 
use to do.

i'm pretty sure that msot of the people who are good 
candidates for godquad (ie recent ex-member of comunity) have 
expressed that they can't commit to the whole weekend. 
therefore mary was simply trying to see who was willing and 
available. i am not sure that i can see why email is not a 
good choice. if you don't want others to see what you write 
then simply reply to mary only. if you WANT to godsquad but 
have other commitments, it is easy to say, i amworking 
saturday morning and sunday afternoon, so i can be there 
saturday afternoon and sunday mroning, or if you think you 
will be working but not sure when, you can say like amtty b. 
did, i will be there when i'm not working. 

if for whatever reason you don't want to godsquad then it is 
also very easy to say: i'd don't want to. i must admit i 
would be sad to know that anyone would say this.

by the way several people from outside the communtiy have 
been approached and have specified which times they'll be 
able to be there, and i'm sure we'll be offering invitations 
to other communities as well. however there is no point 
having people from other communities here who don't know 
what's gonig on, unless there are also people who have 
experience in godsquadding at engadine.

Love Jen

P.s. sorry for the atrocious typos, but i ahve mroe important 
stuff to do than go back and fix them all up =)
