Tonight was the night that my voluntary association group, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, headed down to the local VFW post to do some interviews. However, upon arrival, the bartender told us that her patrons would not like to be bothered, and that they've run into this problem in the past. At a loss of what to do, we had no option but to leave!
Thankfully though, we have a back-up plan and have the name of someone who is a local member, and have contacted him to do an interview within the next few days. Hopefully this will work out! It is interesting to me that they have had to refuse students in the past -- it surprised me, because I would have thought the veterans would want to share their stories with others. Especially students who are trying to appreciate the VFW and it's role in the community. Hopefully we will get the interviews we need, and the people we talk to next will be willing to give us their time and their thoughts!
Steph,
ReplyDeleteSo you have a problem to report, but you also have a back-up plan. That is good. And perhaps had a surprise about how best to approach the project.
