Good point MacClurg - scheduling anything these days always seems to involve some 'conflict' with other EVENTS but I think that your message about the need to be aware of significant holy days and/or holidays is important. I imagine that most of us would never consider scheduling a community event on Christmas or Thanksgiving - we'd likely say something to the effect of "well people won't attend _______ as they will be with their loved ones on that day". Being mindful of the "less obvious" (to some) important days would be part of a more conscious effort. Perhaps it's not too late for the New Orleans Jazz Dinner to change the date. Your reminder is also a good one for me to download a list of various holidays to my e-calendar!

Scheduling fundraisers is challenging - we're sorry this doesn't work well for everyone. Maybe next year, there won't be the same conflict.
