I feel your pain!

I hear a lot of "I want to help the RMH", but then I get only a couple 'yes' responses when the evite goes out. It is impossible to schedule one activity that fits everyone's calendar, or that interests everyone. Based on responses, we schedule more of a particular activity (like cooking dinner on weekends, bc dinner must be served by 6pm and we've had poor turnout during the week). We had opportunity to raise $$ for RMH by "manning" a booth at tje mall, but had zero responses. The organizer and i each sat therefor 4 hours -- and wearing letters got us a new alumna member, but not a lot of cash and boring as...

Definitely encourage family & friends, where appropriate! We usually get at least one kid helping when we cook and had only 2 alums but 8 total people at the last activity at the RMH!

Don't stop trying!! As long as u get enough people too make the activity work, you are helping people - and that is what matters most.
