Re: Chairman's Award -- is the bar too high now?

The bar is set pretty high, but doesn't mean we still won't try and continue to do everything we do to better the community we live in. It's not about winning, its about making the world a better place.




The running gag on our team is next year as part of our chairman's effort is we are all donating kidneys and adopting children from 3rd world countries.

can we adopt some children from third world countries and get them to join our team. We need more students.

putting that in a sentence sounds very bad.

Re: Chairman's Award -- is the bar too high now?

We put in a chairman's award presentation not because we believe that we will win it in any given year, but because it focuses us as a team on tallying up what we have and have not done this year in terms of making the world a better place, and serves as a launch pad for community service for the coming year.
