right, I mean when you show the whole team how to use the power tools and such, be sure to invite everyone, even those who claim they're not interested in construction. I wouldn't know what it would be like to hold a coed meeting, but I would think that it would be most effective if you maybe paired up a new member with an old member and had them give "personal tours" and show them how to use the power tools. We did that this year; we gave all the new members a "big sister" on the team.
