short and sweet this time.

Ali, good luck, you're gonna need it.

In our large scout troop, we have one fundraiser that has compulsory attendance by the parents. We have a calendar for them to sign up for the shifts they want to serve. And we have people whose job it is to compare the roster with the schedule and make sure everyone has signed up for their shifts, attends their shifts, and calls the slackers to get them on the schedule.

You will not get 100% participation if you just leave it at volunteer. People have to be be motivated by the thought that they have something to lose, like face in the newsletter. As for the people who DID serve but were not listed, psh.. Also unavoidable. Publish another list, saying Sorry I overlooked A B C, they're a great help but I forgot to mention their names. Thanks A B C!

Then, don't look back. Or, give A B C the job of making sure all the jobs are filled.
