Why not tell Robert that we think his idea of getting other businesses involved is a great one... but we need more help to get it done. He's done a good job bringing in a few new members, maybe he can canvass his flock and find us a volunteer or two to bring those businesses in! That said, Cheryl, like everyone else, I've got to say, don't take him to seriously. Robert can't even say something NICE without putting a sour twist on it. It's just the way he always has been.
