When to cancel something

When to call off events or group meetings

• rarely, if at all.

• It is OK if it matches what the school district is doing such as school is canceled because of a hurricane.
• Or you can't get the requisite number and type of sponsors. (At least two and at least one representing every gender of youth that might show up.)

If you cannot guarantee that everyone will have gotten the message about a cancellation, then someone needs to be there to meet those that show up.

Doesn't matter if it is a small turn-out. Take advantage of that fact and do something you can't do with a larger group. Make it a time of creativity and flexibility. Reward the faithful by doing something special. Go out for Ice Cream.

Otherwise you get the reputation that you (the group/church/event) can't be trusted. Why should they plan on an event or activity if there is a chance it will get canceled. This becomes a self-feeding cycle.
