Re: Missing Gilead's Shell
If you guys can put together a full list of everyone who helped, I can use
that copy for the website this month. I was particularly impressed with
6-year-old Miss Hess (darn, forgot her first name) who ran one of the
computers, even for a spell with Merrie Jo not there. She scanned in the
items, typed in the bidder amounts and numbers, and only needed help when
putting in item descriptions. Very cool. My comment was "hey, I was
thinking this program is so easy even a child can do it, but I know a few
adults who couldn't figure it out." It's true!
I'm always concerned that we be able to make things enjoyable for the kids
who want to help, but not to the point at which the auction is held up.
Gilead & Dalton did a good job keeping things moving (again better than
some adults I could talk about a few years back). I suppose it's a great
opportunity for them to gain confidence speaking in front of a crowd too.
