Yes, that made it kind bad for the other family members, the other kids and her Grandpa were pretty unhappy about it, but the clubhouse they use for the meetings has a high demand on Saturday nights and residents take priority when reserving it so, even though they thought they had that it wasn't until 10 days before the event that they found out differently and with the people flying in from Georgia and their plane tickets bought and paid for they did the best they could do. I know it won't happen again when they have their gold award ceremony I can assure you of that.
I see well perhaps it was a good learning experience for the organizers
It definitely was a good learning experience for the organizers, the organizers were the girls of the troop. Teresa is the leader, the adult, but she makes the girls be responsible for doing everything and when I say everything that means every bit.
The girls decide what projects they do, they decide how to do them, how they will fund them and they split up the work among themselves.
So when they contacted the property management company that takes of the subdivision where the clubhouse is located and were told that no one had booked the clubhouse for that Saturday night six weeks ago, the girls said great we need to use it. The response from the management company was, "that shouldn't be a problem." So the girls took that to mean that they had it booked.
But then the leader got the email saying, "we are sorry, but a resident has book the clubhouse for 10/20/18 so the clubhouse will not be available for your use." That sent everything into a tailspin. So the girls won't forget that for the next time with their gold awards. They made that clear on Saturday night, there were several of the girls who had other family members who were not able to attend because of the space confinements of the leaders living room.
thats great that the leader uses these opportuntites to teach the girls responsibility and planning something that is all to sadly missed these days
