Ten little sisters standing in a line.
One disliked the president, then there were nine.
Nine ambitious sisters offered to work late.
One forgot her promise, then there were eight.
Eight creative sisters had ideas as good as heaven.
One lost enthusiasm, then there were seven.
Seven loyal sisters got into a fix.
They quarreled over programs, then there were six.
Six sisters remained with spirit & drive.
One moved away, then there were five.
Five steadfast sisters wished there were more.
One became indifferent, then there were four.
Four cheerful sisters who never disagree-
Till one complained of meetings, then there were three.
Three eager sisters! What do they do?
One got discouraged, then there were two.
Two lonely sisters our rhyme is nearly done,
One joined the bridge club, then there was one.
One faithful sister was feeling rather blue.
Met with a neighbor, then there were two.
Two earnest sisters each enrolled one more.
Doubling their numbers, then there were four.
Four determined sisters just couldn't wait,
Till each one another, then there were eight!
Eight excited sister signed up eight more.
In another six verses, there'll be a thousand twenty-four!

So the Enrichment Councilor and I are the only ones that come to Enrichment anymore, (and neither of us knows how to play bridge) Not sure where we are going wrong.
One of my good friends is stumbling a bit and its heart breaking to watch her feel as if she is unloved, and doesn't want to come to church.
Just venting frustration.
I'm sure everything will work out.

Are you talking about the tree activity or just mid week enrichments in general?? Sorry for the lack of participation.
I am sure you are doing nothing wrong. I found that when I specifically talked to people and asked them to come to things that sometimes helped. Maybe you are already doing that but keep up the hard work. Peter sometimes had 2 people at choir and other times had 12-so hang in there.
