good work with the possibility

High School activities are
more important next month and
disappear for a long time. >>>

Isn't this the risk we run
giving an award to anyone in
the society?  Anyone could
decide tomorrow that the Texas
Widget makers society is much
more interesting, and
disappear.  I think by giving
awards to teens we make them
feel more a part of things,
and they are more likly to
stay.  Does it matter if we
give an award to a child that
goes away for a few years, but
comes back later because of a
positive experience we gave
them?  I paint a lot of rising
star scrolls; they are my
favorites. I have no children,
and don't have a clue what to
do with one if I did. I don't
feel that this is a waste of
time, or paint. I know we have
all gotten burned out at one
point or another, and gone on
hiatus.  I don't think that
potential should be considered
unless you are warranting them
for a year commitment on an
office.
