Shrine Greeters Meeting

Tonight was our monthly meeting and ladies night which we hold every April and October. An important lesson on communication came out of tonight's meeting. We have another group which only meets in April and October who asked if they could go in with us. They have met with us in the past and with no trouble. Since our club picks up the meals and the other group does not have the funds to do so they charge for the meal. In addition, several of our Greeters belong to both groups. Well our President discussed with the person sending out their information on the specifics of the dinner including price and times. The person on their side decided they were going to disregard the times and the cost and sent out a notice with a different time for dinner and a different cost per person than we discussed with them. Needless to say folks from both groups were not happy when they each had different times for eating and different charges. We also had a long discussion during our meeting if we would meet with them in the future. This just goes to show how important communications are and how much harm one person can cause to an organization if they don't pay attention.
