Two weeks ago I made a slide for an organization's "Bunch for Bunco" fundraising event. (In case you're unfamiliar with it, Bunco is a mindless dice game) I emailed the finished product to one of the organizers; she replied that it was perfect. That weekend, and the next one, it was part of a slide show on two of the three screens. Today I made new slide shows and after dinner went to set them up. Once the first slide show started running I stood and took a look at it. AND discovered a problem!
The top of the slide was supposed to say "Bunch for BUNCO Fundraiser. What it actually said was:
That one incorrect letter at the end of the first word made quite a difference. In two weeks of running, no one had discovered the error. I came home, fixed everything, and will take the corrected slide shows back up tomorrow. What do you think are the chances that I can get by one more night without anyone noticing?

Haha I think you will be fine!
ReplyDeleteThese mistakes happen all the time, especially on church announcements. I often wonder how many people actually read the announcements. I would often hear, at our previous church, from people who didn't know about an event although it had been in the church newsletter for weeks. I would think, "don't you read the bulletin?"
ReplyDeleteYou're right about people not being informed. Last night I sent a message to the Bunco night organizer (a personal friend) and got a response back today that she had seen the mistake last week, but then forgot to contact me.
