Wolfskin Development Plan

Request for suggestions:

On the right sidebar, there's an entry under WFD Plan, which is a word doc that you can download to view. This is Bill's most recent (Sep 1, 2009) reworking of the WFD Development Plan we've been working on since January. Please do look at it and make comments or suggestions.

(Or you can click here.)

This is a plan by function, rather than by date. At some point we'll probably have an alternative document in the form of a 1-3-5 year plan that is consistent with the current one. What we found was that for our specific needs it was better to first carve out our various functions along with officers in charge. Too many functions were ongoing, and didn't really fit a 1-3-5 year plan (recruitment, for instance, or fundraising). There was a sense that a 1-3-5 year plan should be more visionary, addressing special projects, rather than messing with day to day ongoing operation.

So it's a start. With that context, we'll update as we get suggestions and incorporate them. Suggestions can emailed or added in the form of comments to this post.

Thanks to Ed, Lisa, Phyllis, Wayne, and to Bill who heads the committee. Actually there were several times when just about everyone sat in to offer suggestions, so let's thank everyone.

September Update

First, I'm having some computer difficulties so the full September update may not appear for awhile.

Second, Brian Creech's very nice article on the Margaritaville appeared today in the Athens Banner-Herald.

Third, for Inactive Firefighters:

We're having to do inventory on our equipment. If you haven't attended a business meeting or training session, or attended a fire call in the last six months without notifying the fire chief, you are considered to be inactive. It's kind of a "duh" situation that we have to address - no offense intended.

So, we're asking all inactive firefighters holding outstanding equipment to either come by to turn in your equipment on the next two Thursday evenings (Sep 10 or Sep 17) after 6:30pm, or to contact Ed or Wayne (email addresses and phone numbers appear on the right sidebar) to work out a time to settle this issue.

The deadline for this is September 17 - emails have been sent out, and snail mail for those without email addresses. Of course we'd love to have formerly inactive firefighters return to activity, but regardless wish you all well. We just need that stuff back!
