It is one thing to say you are going to do it and another to actually do it

When I am thinking of the Adopt the Driveway program, I think that as a team we failed this year. It is not that the driveways are not cleared. But there are some elements missing from how we are doing it that takes away many of the benefits that could have been realized from this program.

--

There were too many times this year where someone cleared the driveway alone. No team building here.

I'm not aware of any SRKF member who is not IHC member (other than kids of...) that joined the shoveling effort. We did not inspire the kwoon to join.

There are only a handful of IHC members who actually went to shovel this year and many who did not even gone once. This imbalance in the team is not healthy.

--

I would assume that it is not convenient for anyone to go and shovel. We are all busy and have our own agendas. But if as a team we signed up for this, understanding the benefit of helping elderly people with this, I would have expect that people would prioritize this and make more of an effort to help with shoveling.

As we are still in the midst of winter, I challenge everyone in the IHC to participate in this team effort. There is still a chance to make it a success.
