Small Groups Versus Large Groups

Any activist should be leading with three people or more.

Small Groups Versus Large Groups
jralston95.blogspot.com

When a small group of a non-profit organization gets together, they're most likely officers taking one or more chances to gather up members and move forward to fundraisers. While coming up with the group's mission statement, the president might be ahead of the local news to know enough about what to say or do. A treasurer may keep the group updated with a budget listing of events, an establishing office, and transportation if needed. An office manager (a more proactive title than vice president) runs the positive vibes and messages to keep the group together. A secretary may assist the office manager with the meeting minutes in which I believe anybody can do this while being openly suggestive with something to write on (a notepad or a laptop). An advocate could be advertising events online or in-person because they would know and count on somebody to sponsor any group moving forward.

Small Groups

I've attended meetings that fill the capacity up to five people. I'd prefer that as a writing group, but you can work with those who interest your skills only after one meeting of good fun. I've also believed in "three is a crowd," so it sounds cool to be called a trio at times. With small groups, I came to realized that it's easy to break the ice with a nice board game or video game over a discussion. So, I'm obligated enough to lead a support group with fun choices with a board game or carpooling events.

Large Groups

I've attended meetings that fill the capacity up to twenty people. I wouldn't raise expectations of the first meeting having a lot of people coming out for a public discussion, but taking a vote in person like any committee or community organization should be a guarantee. I'm not asking determining twenty people for an audience at an open mic because it's not every day everybody wants to leave their home when working full-time. A monthly Sunday afternoon worked out with me to review a few notes and public events to plan in my own attendance- but I can invite others if they press "interested" more in Facebook events made to be public and in-person.

As I'm in deep respects of confidentiality, I've attended support groups for school and in discretional support of a few family members. Collaboration for fun and skillful events takes time for growing groups- even for the smallest local organizations still looking for an office secretary because a student gets so busy with class. Even when you're out of college and living independently with a full-time job, leading a group just might drive you into all sociable acceptance.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
