Participitating

Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose. Our office started a Community Foundation this past Spring and we have done 3 main projects so far and are onto our 4th of the year. One of the issues has been getting information out to the company, the other issue is not getting everyone involved even though we know people INTEND to get involved or donate or bring stuff, etc.

I decided it was time to put together a formal presentation that can be delivered to the agents in a fun way and to get across our point that one has to decide to participate and then take action. I enlisted the assistance of my MOST creative and AMAZING sister, Amy Drake, who, after a few trial and errors, came up with exactly what I had in mind:

Once upon a time a certain Community Foundation requested the assistance of its 

Tator friends to assist with a few projects meant to better the lives of others...

there were several different responses from many different Tators:

This "Dictator" is a real hot head - He likes to tell everyone what to do, 

but very rarely makes any effort himself:

These "Spectators" watch all the action, but never really have the whole picture:

The "Commentator" is NEVER at a loss for "Wahhs":

These "Couch Potato's" had NO Comment:

Especially THIS one:

The Urgency to "GO" is almost too much for this "Anticipitator", 

she's always getting ready, but just never heads out:

The "Participitator" decides to take action, 
learn and try new things and, as a result,
makes a difference to those around her

I am super pleased by this little story and feel it will be meaningful and fun as I explain the various options each agent has to "participitate" in the Foundation and how, with a little effort, a small group of people can make a very big difference. 

THANK YOU my beautiful sister Amy!! I asked and I received - you are the best example of a "Participitator" that I know. This is her working on our first attempt at the "Tator" persons...

Love you!

I AM Grateful,

HB
