Callahan House reviews Santa open-house registration after attendance slip from 225 to 207
Summary
Board reviewed December open houses, reporting 207 attendees (down from 225 the prior year), $106 in cash donations and confusion over the per-person registration process; staff will reconsider the time-slot lottery or registration approach for next year.
Board members reviewed December open houses and said they will revise the registration process after mixed results this year.
Speaker 3 summarized the event and said “the registration process was a little confusing for people,” noting many groups did not register all attendees and staff exchanged numerous emails to resolve sign-ups. The board discussed possible remedies for next year, including a lottery or adjusting time slots.
Speaker 3 gave attendance figures for the event: “we had 207 people attend. Last year was 225,” and provided an hourly breakdown (67, 51, 35, 54). The board also reported $106 in cash donations this year and three new email sign-ups for outreach lists.
Board members said they will review whether to add additional time blocks next year and whether to reserve fewer slots per registration; no binding change was adopted during the meeting. Staff will consider registration alternatives and report options to the board in a future session.
