POLL: Friday-Sunday events vs Thursday-Saturday events

Even though going to work Monday morning after a Sunday event is terrible, I can just take Monday off if I need that day to recover. Friday-Sunday events force less time off if you don't need the day after to recover, and they require the same amount of time off if you do. So I don't get this "I need a recharge day so let's do Thursday - Saturday" - is it just that you feel guilty about taking a day off when there isn't an event, or something?

This. Not every major volunteer needs a day off, and if you need it, take it. Also realize that the sample on CD will be biased toward active volunteers and taxing jobs. Friday-Sunday is much better for filling the many shorter- and smaller-job volunteer slots, not to mention attracting other community engagement. I certainly understand the religion-based desire for some Thursday-Sunday events in each region, but that doesn't mean they should dominate for that reason. Just given the churchgoing habits of the entire United States, it should be significantly less than half, and that's assuming all those who report going weekly would be unwilling to miss a couple for this. (Unless there's reason to believe the FRC population is more churchgoing than the country at large.)
