Well, yesterday was really an eye-opener for me. Kate, my "boss," has had trouble getting members to attend events. The marketing person at the Council on Aging advised her to see how many of her members were on Facebook and "friend" them. "Ridiculous," I scoffed. "Most of these people will not be on FB." Well, I was wrong. I spent most of the day looking for members and inviting them to be friends, then looking at their friends for anyone I knew who might be interested in the Village for one reason or another. Lots of people sit at their computers, and many of them instantly agreed to be friends with Kate...I am not even sure most of them knew who she was. Fascinating lesson in digital media. We have yet to see if it will translate to better attendance at events, but I bet it will!

Other than that...it was a pretty crazy day getting everyone out the door and back in again. Elisa wasn't done until 6 with her rehearsal. In the meantime, Ray is working on his big presentation (tonight!) and I went out to Molli's place of work to pick her up. Elisa texted to say that it was free pancake day at IHOP and could we go...I hate to say no to her, at least for something like that. We took her friend China too...but the line was out the door, so we did not stop. Instead, they made chocolate chip pancakes at home, with buttermilk. I resisted. Molli made butter chicken (a kind of curry), with cauliflower and couscous. I prepared an apple-peach pie for the freezer and dough for nut slice-and-bake cookies. The kitchen was a madhouse, while Ray continued to work on his power point slides.

I took China home and Molli started on tonight's supper. She and I listened to Ray's 50-minute talk and gave him feedback (too much detail, but mostly very interesting). He was up until 12:30 or so and has to get going again soon. I went to bed at 10 and slept pretty well until 6!
