How about a short course for one shot gripers?
Trying to overeducate will result in reduced use by one shots.
Policy (circled)
If workshop is to facilitate the private citizen's access to people, then it must not obstruct with impossible (struck out) weeks of training for a one-shot.
Should we teach how to communicate? To run a porta-pack? To run the cable system? To use the cable system? A person can know how to operate an instrument without fully comphrending and/or appreciating it's uses.
How do we promote one shots?
Shopping centers? Laundromats? Speak your mind! Come be on cable tv.
How about a regular program from a laundry mat or several - natural neighborhood centers
