DCCW Notes
BY GILLIAM BROWN
- ON HOW NOT TO RUN
A MEETING
The great answer to every problem in
this democratic society of ours - from
national disaster to fund-raising for the
PTA-is to call a meeting. Having
attended a large number of meetings in
my time (and having wasted a good
many hours in the process) I have come
to the conclusion that there are some
cardinal sins committed by those who
call meetings. Here are a few of the
DON’TS that spring to mind:
DON’T send out your notices the
day before the meeting takes place.
There is something very disturbing
about the note that comes in the mail
announcing a most important discussion
on urgent business planned for
tomorrow night (when you had already
made plans to take the children to a
long-anticipated cookout).
DON’T start your meeting late. Your
members - who may have rushed
through dinner and hired a baby-sitter
in order to be present - will not be
happy to have to wait around for half
an hour or so before the meeting begins
- and the chances are that they’ll be late
themselves next time.
DON’T let one person dominate the
meeting. There is nearly always one
person who likes to talk a lot. This
person is not always the one with the
most useful things to say. Give others a
chance.
DON’T call the meeting for 3:00
p.m. on Wednesday afternoon at a
parish hall in the suburbs when most of
your participants are people who work
weekdays in downtown offices.
DON’T start off by saying “what
shall we talk about today?” - unless this
is the type of unstructured discussion
gathering attended by people who
already know the format and come with
ideas in mind.
DON’T invite a noted “speaker” to
address your group and make your
speaker sit through a whole
business-meeting beforehand patiently
waiting his turn. He probably won’t
want to come again.
DON’T have so structured a format
that there’s no time for anything new. I
have attended meetings - some of them
PCCW meetings -- at which the rigid
formula of prayer-reading of minutes -
treasurer’s report etc. seemed all
important, and a really interesting point
brought up by one member was brushed
aside by an over-efficient chairman with
an eye on the clock.
DON’T call the meeting at all if there
is nothing particular that needs to be
done. There are a few people in this
busy world who like to go to a meeting
just for the sake of going to a meeting,
but most of us have other things to do.
DON’T spring a truly important
question on people “cold”. If it is a
decision which needs thought, give
people time to thing.
DON’T forget, if you have a big
crowd in a large hall, to make sure the
microphone is turned on.
DON’T forget to make people feel
welcome. Even the most cut-and-dried
business meeting goes better if people
know you’re glad they are there.
THE COOK’S
NOOK
RICE AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
4 steps
(1) Cook 1 cup regular rice in 3 cups cold water with 1 teaspoon of salt. Do NOT
drain.
(2) In a heavy skillet put 1 stick margarine; 1 medium onion chopped; 1 10-ounce
package of frozen chopped broccoli. Cook over low heat until broccoli thaws.
(3) Add 1 small jar Cheez-Whiz and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup.
(4) Add rice. Pour into a buttered casserole and bake at 400 degrees until real hot
and bubbly (approximately 35 minutes).
This recipe will serve 8 people generously so it can be divided into 2 casseroles and
one can be frozen for later use.
The chef wishes to thank Mrs. H.S. Breckley of Augusta for this delicious dish and
Mrs. A.H. Von Plinksey also of Augusta for her recipe which appears below.
