Review Day Unsuccessful for the 2nd Time This Year

The goal of 600 review for March's Review Day was not achieved by over a hundred YWSers available that time.

The same happened during the January Review Day. Many YWSers see the lack of members willing to review and lend a hand. Others think that the incompleteness of announcements and preparations for the Review Day was to blame.

The teams weren't established earlier, so our team didn't have a chance to plan things out.


That was a little disappointing! thought we would make it!


Some still sees this loss as normal due to the Holiday, and that under consideration, YWSers did actually well.


Personally, I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get the Green Room cleared out. But seeing as it was Easter Sunday, and people were busy with social engagements, I think we did remarkably well!
