[nabs-l] Disappointed

[Angela fowler]

Hello fellow federationists,
	While the list serves are a great source of information and an
excellent networking tool, they are at times an inefficient way of sending
out notices. As was stated earlier, many single messages get lost in the hum
of in depth conversations which last for days. Also, if people are not
necessarily interested in the conversation which is currently taking place
on a list, they will quickly delete the messages and may delete other
messages without realizing it. 
	I think the web site, or whatever social networking pages we have
would be a far better vehicle for disseminating such information as Joe was
trying to disseminate. I'm not saying don't put it on the list, by all means
do so, but we should also take into account that many will not get the
messages and post them elsewhere. 
Just my thoughts
Angela

Hi,
Perhaps the message advertising the grant was one that many people
overlooked. In comparison to the many threads lasting several days, I
suppose the message regarding the grant sort of got lost among other topics.
I believe the message was sent out once, maybe another reminder later on,
but there was certainly no nagging/handholding on Joe's part and I
personally didn't expect there to be.
I know that I received the post myself. However, I am not exactly active in
the Ny student division as it doesn't seem to have much presence if it
exists at all.
In any case, I don't believe that Joe's complaint is exactly misdirected. It
was more than likely an oversight on behalf of many.

Hello,
It seems as if every day there are more and more people coming out of the
woodwork saying that they would have been interested in the grant if only
they had known about it.. It seems as if the disappointment (blame) aimed at
those who did not participate in the gramt is misdirected. If anything, it
seems as if the disappointment should be aimed at the outreach efforts.

Furthermore, I recall purring forth an idea to record the national
convention employment seminar before the grant deadline closed. On behalf of
the MABS, I would have gladly applied for the grant to help cover cost
associated with that project. Who was it that failed to mentioon that
potential funding was avaliable?

Just something to think about
Jim

PS. I will be calling Mrs. Jernigan later this week to discuss recording the
convention employment seminar. Once I talk to her, I will post what I find
out.
