Totally Frustrated With Acs Re: Msabc Walk

[chefkathy]

I signed up to be a team leader via the website in August. I didn't receive anything from ACS (other than emails), so I dug around the event website and found that I could request a leader kit. Did that at least a month ago. I never received anything.

Fast forward to this week. Our walk is less than 2 weeks away. I finally got a call from our local office saying they just found my request for a leader kit--could they come drop it off? I found that a bit odd, so offered to come by their office and pick it up. It was on my way home from preschool anyway.

When I got home, I realized there was nothing of substance in the bag. There was a t shirt and some cardboard stand up thinys to put on a counter somewhere with literature about the event--but no literature to put in it. The most important thing--our walk registration papers, which need to be filled out BEFORE the walk--were not in there. :grumpy:

I just called them back AGAIN and now they are going to come drop them off to me this afternoon.

I also just a few days ago received a letter in the mail with a key chain and ideas for fundraising. Too little too late.

They do not have their act together. It is frustrating to try to rally a team together when I don't even have the materials from ACS to use.

Ooh seriously, there was supposed to be some type of forms?? A T-shirt?? I got some little letter that was all eaten up saying thank you for becoming a team leader, please accept this key chain, which wasn't in there. So I called, but now I'm wondering if I should have received more. I didn't get any forms or instructions. Hmmm. I requested that leader packet too and never got anything other than that letter. Now I"m worried.


Where is your local office, Deb? Mine is in Batavia and the funny thing is, I thought What the heck? I'll ask if they'd do a catalog show fundraiser. So I'm dropping off catalogs probably tomorrow or Thursday and offering to make them treats that I'll drop off when I go to pick up their orders. You should ask your local people!!

Do you know if we can turn in donations or have them come through on our website AFTER the walk???

I'm sorry guys! Maybe you have new people running it this year and they're just bogged down?? I don't know. Mine seem to be doing everything right, like when we raised $100 as a team, they sent me 10 pink bracelets to hand out.

I would definitely give them a call again and let them know if they want YOU to be successful, they eed to have their act together.

I know that we can, I don't see why you couldn't.

OMG! I've gotten NOTHING!!! No letter, no keychain... no info at all! I had to ask Chef Ann if she knew even when it started because I had nothing.Although, I HAVE gotten the e-mails encouraging me to raise more $$ which I have. And in talking to Ann, I found out that it's not even an "organized" walk. We can go walk whatever distance we want at whatever time we want just as long as it's between 8-10 am.I'm glad I raised the money but am wondering if I will even go... what's the point?

UGH!!!! They never showed up. Then I got a message from a different gal asking if she could come by tonight and drop them off. This is so absurd. This is no way to run a nationwide charity.

Hey Carolyn, I dont' think you'll receive anything b/c you didn't sign to be a team leader. Unless your branch is different than mine, you won't get anything in the mail so get out there and get donations!!
