Section 5 3 Tour Team Survey

We would like to thank you for taking the time to read through this letter and for volunteering your time. INT of Washington is successful because of the Tour Team. Success to Rick and I means that everyone who attends, regardless of how they score, can leave saying they had a great time, it was “fun”. We are open to any and all constructive suggestions that anyone may have. Sometimes being so close to something, you can overlook things that are very plain for others to see. Many people from past years have requested more individual responsibilities, over and above, their time, assisting with other things. This is our effort to get you all more involved. You can respond to this survey in one or two ways; by regular mail or email. If you only received this note via regular mail it was because we didn’t have your email address. If you would like me to email this to you please send me a note at [email protected]
