Stacey was definitely amazing!! But I think one time when she was on break there was a woman from the dome staff doing it - and she was equally as chipper!! I stopped to mention how much I appreciated the cheeriness!

My husband is an MC, and a new thing he has started doing is giving everyone "homework" to go thank ONE volunteer at the competition. FIRST has a general spiel about get up and clap for the volunteers, and "we couldn't do it without you all!", but I think it was a great addition to remind teams throughout the weekend to go thank just one person doing a great job. It helps the volunteers stay positive and keep those chipper attitudes!!

So beyond CD, at your next event, make sure you actually tell that person who really made your day, or went out of their way to be helpful, or just did really great at their jobs!

Excellence - is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible.
