What's everyone's feeling about making calls this evening since it is Victoria Day? My gut says its not appropriate but I know most people are home since it is the end of the long weekend. The draw slips are from last Thursday and I won't be able to make calls tomorrow night. Should I follow my gut or am I just coming up with 'phone excuses'? What do you all think?:confused:
 
I'm not sure what Victoria Day is - what is it celebrating? If it's similar to our Memorial Day, then I think it would be okay. I am probably going to make a few calls on Memorial Day.
 
I would say it is okay to call. Just make sure you are well-mannered and not pushy. I am sure you will get a good response.I would say it is okay to call. Just make sure you are well-mannered and not pushy. I am sure you will get a good response.Thanks for the advise :)
