Like Alan, I'm not good at retaining the names to go with all of the faces I see, so I also love name tags. Our team shirts actually have a spot on the back for a name, but most of the kids have written something silly in the space.
On Thursday in Atlanta, I used the name tag I had gotten at the OKC Regional and stuck a very large "CYNETTE" over the "Volunteer" on the tag. I don't think it had much impact other than a multitude of people coming up to ask me questions thinking I was a current volunteer (and usually, I was less than helpful). I decided not to wear it on Friday and Saturday and then those that knew me kept asking, where is your name tag? So I guessed it was noticed.
I think I'll still promote it for our team. I've alwayd been fond of the Boy Scout style pin / nametag.
And Madison, I would have loved to meet you. You were actually one I was disappointed that I hadn't connected with in Atlanta. (Someone else I know got to meet you, and I was slightly jealous when they told me!
