be careful

What you can do with 15, you can not do with 30.

We still have not hit our stride when it comes to team orginazation. We just have too many people. Between 2002 and 2003 we increased in size by 150%. The growth CRUSHED us. We didn't know how to handle that many people, but we never wanted to cut people. (In fact, the schools will not allow us to cut from a club, and we can not split into 3 teams - one for each highschool we work with) It, in a word, sucked.

For 2003, we have had about 75 9th graders sign up, and I'm scared to go to the first meeting.

I'll be watching this post to see what comes up. (And check the team org section, it has lots of good ideas, most of which we were able to use last year to help out)
