Believe me, it comes from a long stint as a Ward Clerk in a very similar circumstance. I forget a bit about the change in Local Unit Support, as a Ward Clerk I called them all the time.... that is different now, but I think it is the right practice.davesudweeks wrote:I wish my stake clerk organized occasional sharing sessions where the ward clerks could get together, roll up their sleeves, and discuss how they were understanding/magnifying their callings with the stake providing direction as needed in the discussion. That would be cool!
In our stake we do Clerk training during the same period the Stake Presidency does quarterly Bishopric Training. Quarterly Training I feel is not too overbearing, but enough to get together. Sometimes it is formal, this is a procedure, review latest policies, etc.. Sometimes it's a Q&A and if there are no Questions from the group, I start throwing out scenarios that I know happen regularly but might be hard to figure out on your own. It's been pretty fun, I've had good feedback on it. I don't necessarily get the results I'd like to see... For instance for 3 years I've been trying to eliminate:
100 North Willminton Circle
100 North Willminton Cir.
100 North Willminton Cir
100 North Willminton CIR
100 N Willminton Circle
100 N Willminton Cir.
100 N Willminton Cir
100 N Willminton CIR
100 N. Willminton Circle
100 N. Willminton Cir.
100 N. Willminton Cir
100 N. Willminton CIR
Well, I'm a bit of a crazy person, but seriously could we at least pick one way to do it?
