I think you may be on to something. I'm guessing there is an <b>intentional</b> breach of grammar conventions in order to make the name stand out. Anyway, the event still looks like a lot of fun!

]]> Comment on Annual Back to School Bluegrass Festival at Old Davie School by Tom http://davie.org/ORG/2010/09/08/annual-back-to-school-bluegrass-festival-at-old-davie-school/comment-page-1/#comment-295 Tom Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:40:23 +0000 http://davie.org/ORG/?p=498#comment-295 Thank you for writing. I was at the Bluegrass festival at the about the same time as you. I'm not sure what happened either. I do know that events at the Old Davie School are generally well executed and a lot of fun. Generally, these events are staged by volunteers, which is part of the charm. I understand your frustration--especially with small children. Please don't give up on the school, or this particular festival. They do generally get things right. I know the music at the festival worked last you, and I predict it will be great next you too. In fact, the music may have been great this year. But I didn't wait long enough to hear it either. Thank you for writing. I was at the Bluegrass festival at the about the same time as you.

What a disappointment and poorly organized event. We were not the first people to get up and leave complaining. How can you advertise a FAMILY event to start at 12 and by 2 pm no music had even STARTED!?? VERY DISAPPOINTING.

If you are referring to conversion to political beliefs or party affiliation, Jews are not a unique group using this practice. If, however, you are referring to conversion to Judaism, it is MUCH more difficult to convert to Judaism than to Christianity. Since I have done both in my lifetime and know many from both sides who have gone through the experience, I know this to be true. It is required in Judaism to turn away someone who is interested in Judaism and a potential convert three times before acknowledging their desire - taken from the Old Testament. Because of that, Jews do not prosthelitize. But we do desire to educate; you misspelled SEPARATE. As a WASP convert to Judaism, I thought I should educate you about the converting process of Jews.

Actually during our strategic planning process we felt it necessary to shorten our MISSION statement and seperate the PURPOSE and VALUES and STRATEGIC PRIORITIES (GOALS) which will support the overall mission. Family oriented was changed to neighborshood values. I strongly support our families and will look at a way to work this into the strategic priorities. Each department will be identifying a Strategic priority(ies) or Value when establishing either a policy or their budget. I always appreciate your involvement. Best Regards.
