Subject: Re: Attendance first half 2008 From: "Eleanor Harris" Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:34:25 -0400 Thanks, Don. . . . .. I haven't had time to digest it all,but I do have it. Eleanor ----- Original Message ----- From: don@donredding.com To: Eleanor Harris Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 10:40 AM Subject: Attendance first half 2008 Eleanor, after our talk Wednesday night I realized it did not looks like I got this to you earlier by email. Please let me know if you do not get today also by USA Mail, sorry.Here is link to pictures from last night and before at the Cafe.http://donRedding.smugmug.com/gallery/3000195_u9gzQ Hi Officers and ChairsI am sending you by USAmail a summary of our attendance the first half of 2008 (and before).The following will be included: (Even though I give links below, you will receive a copy by USAmail soon.) 2008 Attendance with totals back to 2003http://www.donredding.com/ownbey/ownbeyattendance2008to2003.pdfAlpha Listing of attendance information 1997-2008 - tell Don if any thing needs changing.Attendance 1997_2008- Ownbey - Alpha Listing at http://www.donredding.com/ownbey/ownbeyattendance1997_2008alpha.pdf Frequency Sort of attendance 1997-2008Attendance 1997_2008- Ownbey - Frenquency at http://www.donredding.com/ownbey/ownbeyattendance1997_2008frequency.pdf Link to other info including roster.http://www.donredding.com/ownbey/class.pdf. A few comments There are errors as there is no way we could have been accurate in all cases over the years, sorry. Having said #1, I feel it is an ok summary of how our attendance has been for most folks. Almost all names are listed, even if they are no longer members. This lets us see how much losing people like the Grogans, Soules, Heintzelmans hurts our averages. Sorry the printing is so small Some of you will say it is not worth the effort to keep these stats; I agree if they are not used as a “management tool” to stay in touch with people. The “class.pdf” may be reached by going to the official Ownbey web page (for the moment anyway until they do away with it) on the Church Site at http://www.mpumc.org/ownbey and then clicking on “Members” and then clicking on “#2 Click for 2006 Roster . . “ or you can go directly to the page by going to http://www.donredding.com/ownbey/class.pdf. When you are in the Class.pdf, the links go to various information which I found appropriate to keep. I gave up keeping the official web page of the class to the church staff last year, and this one page is my link still to it as it is programmed to go to my personal site. As you know, I hoped the someone else would have take over at least the creation and printing of the roster used in Sunday School but that has not worked out. Earlier in the year, someone asked about these stats so I updated them “one more time.” Remember the username is ownbey and the password is richard, all small letters. I could analyze the results but perhaps it is more meaningful if you look at them and draw your own conclusions.
