Expressing Thanks and Evaluating the Event Be sure to write a complimentary note of thanks to the professionals with whom you worked at the host establishment, with a copy to their employer or immediate supervisor. Everyone loves praise for a job well done and a letter for the portfolio or scrapbook is very much appreciated. After every event, at the next scheduled Officers Meeting, it is important to spend time discussing the positives and negatives of the recent function before moving on to the work of the next event. It is always instructive to review the successes, which bear repeating, and the things that went wrong, to avoid repetition. Be sure your members realize that at Chaîne events they must never express criticism themselves directly to any of the establishment's personnel.  Instead, any negative comments should be communicated to the Bailli or, in his or her absence, to a local officer.   Click on Thumbnails for an Exemplary Critique Letter (Click on "Back" to Return)
