Greg needs to send out Thank You notes out to people.

Don't send out bad emails about how pissed off you are.
Dinner Dance Thorns and Roses

Roses
It came together nicely. It was a nice dance. The food was good, especially 
the beans and steak. The band was good. Everyone had fun, and the setup was 
done quickly. The decorations looked cool.

Thorns
There should be more active crew participation.
There needs to be fewer emails being sent out.
There shouldn't be a buffet. "It sucked". Have it formally served to the 
table.
There wasn't enough socialization between the crews. We could learn more 
about socialization at the etiquette lessons. We could have more social 
activities before the dance with the other crew. Do we want to force people 
to sit with people they don't know so we can break up the groups of close 
friends? Should we force people to dance with each other?
Everyone brought music, but a lot of it was not played. We need better 
communication with the band. We needed better music variety.
We need a better turnout, so maybe we could advertise the dance as being 
really fun.
People didn't help with the setup and cleanup. We could have incentives to 
encourage people to help with them. Crew 222 did most of the cleanup.
Some people left the activity after they ate. Don't leave your crew events.
We need more people dancing from the other crews. Maybe they should have 
their own or be invited to our dancing lessons. Or we could have dancing 
lessons at the beginning of the dance.
People left during the activity. Maybe we should make the event shorter. Or 
we could have more fun events to do. People showed up to the activity and 
didn't help with the setup or cleanup
The planning for this event took too long. We need to use our resources (our 
adults). We need a time schedule. As this was our dance, we needed to take 
responsibility and not shift it to other crews. We had a late budget and we 
had late planning. People responsible need to have notes on how they did all 
of this for upcoming events. We need some real coordination and commitment 
from the crew in order to pull these events off.
Erik's food was forgotten. Need to send out special thank you to his mom.
Greg had to put to much work in. People in this crew need to ask the 
coordinator of any event if they can help them.
There were too many people outside and doing other stuff during the event. 
We abandoned the other crew.

The Santa Cruz trip is this weekend. It's at Sunset Beach near Wattsonville. 
Arrange tent partners. Bring own food utensils. Cars going are Toms and 
Rich. Adam needs to ask about bringing his van. I think the crew is paying 
for gas money.
