An Awesome Lead Team

Below is an email I received today from one of my Lead Team members.  I have six folks on the Lead Team, and each has four teams they recruit leaders for and encourage and help out.  The people on the Lead Team are the BEST.  This email will give you an idea of what they do, how they communicate with me and their team leaders. Names have been changed to protect the innocent! :)

Deloy,
I have had the most interesting conversations with Team Leaders as I pick their brains.

T SHIRTS: thanks for forwarding the email from RRRR...we are on target for t shirts!!

DEAF MINISTRY: talked to XXXX and she is a YES. Couple of things as reminders from her:

1. Thursday night seemed to work wonderfully well last year for Interpreter and the deaf community. (with cuts at deaf school, XXXX was somewhat concerned about their attendance...but who knows...let's just give them the date and let God do the rest!)
2. Interpreter needs copy of the script electronically
3. And also a CD of the music ahead of time
4. Remind YYYY to put spotlight on interpreter during dark portions of the performance.
5. All addresses for the deaf community should be in the church database.

GREETERS: talked to AAAA and she and BBBB are both YES. (we may have to send in water bottles with nerve medicine for them!! as I listened to what she dealt with last year.)  Points from AAAA:

1. Number of tickets printed per night exceeded seating capacity so people turned away...not good.
2. Programs per night toward end ran short...
3. Was pleased that we will have BIG signs at the doors
4. Noted that there were no problems with the bathrooms malfunctioning last year...but questioned WHO to call in case of a problem this year
5. Had major concern with large groups showing up at the start of the performance or in some cases after the performance had begun expecting to be seated....wanted to make sure tickets mentioned wording and maybe relay that info on to Reservations Team when those groups call for big quantities of tickets. Shall I call AAAA and mention that to her or do you do that?

FOOD SERVICES Matinee: ain't talked to MMMM yet. Will have that info for you tomorrow.

Ok...I'm ready to run interferrence for any issue I need to address. Who does the signs for us? And who in the office is in charge of printing tickets? Wording on tickets and sign need to be similar if not same.
