EVALUATION<br />

Reconvene the committee, if possible. Be objective and ask the<br />

members these questions:<br />

¥ What went wrong?<br />

¥ Did you meet your ticket goals?<br />

¥ <strong>How</strong> were pledges?<br />

¥ What complaints were made?<br />

¥ Was the property owner happy?<br />

¥ Did we use due diligence with wash water run off?<br />

¥ Did we cause a traffic problem?<br />

¥ <strong>How</strong> long was the line of cars?<br />

¥ Was our team exhausted?<br />

¥ Did people enjoy themselves?<br />

¥ <strong>How</strong> much money did we make?<br />

¥ Could we have made more?<br />

Then ask yourself these four questions:<br />

¥ What could we change for next year?<br />

¥ What problems would that solve?<br />

¥ Would this create other problems?<br />

¥ Was there anything left out of this book that you believe<br />

was significant?<br />

Have everyone be honest in their evaluation of this event. This<br />

information will be invaluable for next yearÕs group. If you belong <strong>to</strong><br />

a national organization, send your basic plan and evaluation <strong>to</strong> them.<br />

Other chapters of your organization may be planning a car wash<br />

fundraiser.<br />
