Re: How does your team handle season wrap-up?

Meeting Break: []

So perhaps we don't do quite as much in off season as we should. Our mentors need a well deserved break. Our last meeting, not including banquet, usually involves some sort of post-mortem of our events.
Our banquets are your typical end of season event. Our families all come and we have a great time. We'll pay for catering, we'll play music and have a season highlights video, we'll give out participation awards, special awards to heads of departments, senior awards, and mentor awards. Then, the seniors get their time to talk to the team and describe their time on the team as well as any parting advice they have (T.T I don't want to leave!). Then, the season is a wrap!
