Thanks to all who participated in this trip to the museum of African-Canadian History in Dresden, Ontario on Saturday, Aug. 17th. There were 40 participants: 22 seniors, 13 adults, 5 children/youth. Twenty-four (24) were members. Of the 16 non-members, nine (9) are connected to the church community, seven (7) are from outside this community. Special thanks to all those who completed the evaluation form. We had approximately a 60% return rate from adult/senior participants, assuming that some of the seven couples who attended submitted only one form.
According to this feedback the trip was highly successful.
On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest (indicating the trip met my expectations completely) and 1 the lowest (didn’t meet my expectations),
Fourteen people ranked it a 10,
One ranked it a 9,
Two ranked it an 8,
One ranked it a 7.
In response to question asking if they would be interested in participating in a follow-up educational experience,
Nine indicated: Yes, definitely!
Five indicated: Probably, I’d like to know more.
No one indicated: I’d need some convincing.
Four indicated: No, not at this time.
