[CyberTOPS] A question about Roll-Call

[ICARETOPS at aol.com]

Hi--Roll call is mandatory.  In our chapter, for  a gainer, we all say "See 
you lighter next week" and for the turtles and losers,  we clap.
Hugs..Mignonette

Agreed... The roll call doesn't have to be anything set just have to do  
it. 

My chapter the record says name and members reply with happy to be  here 
for gain.. We say we are glad you are here. Losers say they lost and we  clap 
for them.

I sure don't want to cause trouble again  but I will relate what I have 
seen 
at different chapter roll  calls.
Normal: weight recorder announces name, member responds with "gained  0.2 
pounds" group responds with "We're glad your here".

Long; I  have seen weight recorder announce name member responds with
" I didn't  make my pledge from last week, what was my pledge again?"
"I did lose 0.4  pounds, I will pledge 1 pound for next week"
"I'd like to thank my secret  sister for her card, and towel, See!"

This takes a lot  longer.

Quickest: I have seen members announce in order around the room  "Mary, I 
lost 1.2 pounds"
"Jane, I gained"
Very quick because weight  recorder doesn't even announce names.

Just some thoughts...

Hi Cybertops  Friends,

I have a question about roll-call.  Hope somebody can  give me an answer.

My friend Marcia from the Twinsburg Thurs.night  group has a large group 
now.
They used to be a smaller group and they now  have like 10 new members and
heard one guest last night and about 20  members total last night.

Marcia said they she's thinking about  omitting roll-call and just announce 
the
best loser
of the  week.  I thought roll-call is mandatory.  What do you  think?

I told her to omit something else.  I know my club doesn't  have a dime box 
or
a ha-ha box or no 50/50.  We just have best  loser of the week but we have
roll-call.  We even
announce how much  we gain or lose and that doesn't bother me.  Oh, my club 
had
13  weigh-in and 12 of us staye for the meeting yesterday morning.

Have a  good Friday and weekend.

TOPS Hugs,

Janice S.from the Richmond  Heights OH Thurs.morning group #0063 but
lives in Twinsburg OH    (Only 1.50 pounds from reinstated  KOPS)
