Come on, Lincoln, we can do better than 375 Special Olympics volunteers -- a mere 4.7% of the number that will eventually be needed. In addition, 500 volunteers are needed July 31 thru August 3 the National Invitational Golf and Softball Tournament, a precursor to the games. If you haven't already volunteered, please do so today!
That being said, I have a suggestion for the Special Olympics folks: You need to reply to your e-mails. The Central Nebraska Soccer Officials Association extended an official offer to assist with soccer events (or even beyond) in any capacity it or its members are needed. We want to help. Unfortunately, nobody has yet responded to the offer. Now in our case our offer certainly won't disappear even if nobody gets back to us until next summer. We are committed. But from a management perspective it is poor form to take for granted this sort of generous offer by not offering up some sort of confirmation that the offer was received. Even something simple: "Thanks for the offer! We're swamped right now, but we plan to get back to you this fall to discuss how we can work with each other to make next summer's Games a huge success." Again, just a suggestion, but in my opinion a good one.
UPDATE: I just noticed this comment on the Journal Star's website:
I have contacted two people to get our company signed up and have not heard anything back from either person. I have emailed both and left a voicemail for one....wonder if they responded to everyone they would be able to get more volunteers.......just a thought
It seems CNSOA isn't the only organization being left in the dark.
