Experiment

I’m going to try an experiment. I’m going to use the telephone to make social arrangements (including the kids’ lives) for an entire week. No email – well no email for that.

I was installed tonight for the 2nd year on my local NCJW board. For a year now, I’ve been working my butt off to get the current membership (read older ladies) to agree to an electronic newsletter instead of printed, to email reminders, to programming to attract younger women, etc. Great things are happening. But tonight, one woman who has been active in the section for 20 years said that we should call people. No one is coming or volunteering because it’s so easy to delete emails. It’s not so easy to say no on the phone. I think she has a point.

So I’m going to use the phone. I’ll let you know how it goes.
