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 =)
