DD16 is the President of our Temple's Youth group and she's been working so hard to try and increase membership and participation. Today they scheduled a 'baking marathon' (she volunteered our apartment) so they can have a bake sale tomorrow during Religious School. She was so psyched for this (you all know that baking is one of her passions!). Lots of planning, emails, facebook, etc.....and only one kid showed up, and he's in 8th grade (technically not a Youth Group member yet, he's the liaison to the younger kids). So it's Leah, their advisor, and Darren. They're busy baking, but DD is so disappointed that none of her friends came to help out.
She just came into where I am and said I would be so done with this youth group if it didn't count as an extra curricular for college applications. I hate that she's so discouraged and that she feels obligated to do something just because it might help her in college apps.


poor kid. I can just imagine how disappointed she is.

Sorry to hear your DD was disappointed...sounds like fun. I wonder what the secret for success is for
(((((((((((((Leah)))))))))))))))
I'm so sorry Sue.
Oh gosh, that is so disappointing!
Sue, I hope Leah can hold her head high, smile and tell everyone what a wonderful time they had even thought there were only the 3 of them. Maybe that will make the kids that didn't turn up feel that they did miss something fun and worthwhile.
Give my hugs to Leah!
