Major teamwork Success through stress

The Bad: Miscommunication between Boys Town staff

forces complete change of schedule Families arrived early – bored Not at many families showed up as quoted

for success: time management, communication, budgeting, project management, etc.

Giving back to community is the right thing to do – gives fresh perspective
